Coober Pedy to Erldunda

Our last long drive today for a while... left 7.30 and arrived here at Erldunda by 3pm, after stopping every hour or 2, having a stretch, and swapping drivers. A few road trains – they are enormous! - but very little traffic and the road is excellent. We appreciated being able to have lunch in the van – the flies were frightful!


No exciting birds but there were little flocks of Budgies all the way, and Zebra finches breeding everywhere. Lots of Little eagles and Brown falcons also. We saw a dingo trotting along the side of the road, otherwise nothing much to report. There was water lying near the road in a couple of places so there must have been heavy rain recently. The country even around Coober Pedy is green as can be! It is 27 and breezy...time for a cuppa (maybe a coffee with our new percolator) and later, a walk.
