Woomera to Coober Pedy

We left Woomera around 8.30am (after a wonderfully mild night compared to the last two) and stopped just up the road at Spud's Roadhouse to top up before starting the four hour drive to Coober Pedy! The drive was spectacular! The scenery seemed to change every few minutes for the first three hours. The photos just can't do the colours justice! We also started discussing our next trip and possible destinations ! I think we have been bitten by the road trip bug!

The last hours drive was consistently barren although the was still more vegetation than I expected to see. We reached Coober Pedy around 1pm (with stops), set up at the Oasis Tourist Park and headed to the Visitors Centre to get our permit to visit the Breakaways tomorrow and a quick look in at one of the many underground opal shops in town and some photos by the spaceship from 'Pitch Black'. After a dip in the caravan park pool for the kids, the grown ups relaxed with some cabanossi and cheese. Looking forward to a full day exploring Coober Pedy tomorrow!!Read more
