Day 47 Coober Pedy

Decided to smash 730k and go straight from Uluru to Coober Pedy. Have to say the Stuart Highway is even more boring than the Nullabor. There had to be at least 40 or 50 car wrecks on the side of the road in varying stages of destruction.

I am quite sure it was emptied long ago. Nothing else really if nots on the Highway down. Heading into Coober Pedy looks more like the moons surface than any of the old gold mining towns in WA. Most caravan parks are full but we got a site with power but no water ( no probs we have 190l of our own). The 360 degree cafe was recommended so we decided to walk from the van park to the cafe/bar, 50m from the caravan park it started raining so back to get raincoats and umbrellas. If this place is one of the better places in town don’t think I will be eating out again, let’s see what tmw brings. As we get back to the van and prepare for bed it starts bucketing down. Hopefully will clear up by tmwRead more
