The aim today was to be a postie for the day. Job not done ❌
We had hoped to join the mail man with his deliveries to the outback stations of SA today ✉️📦 but unfortunately we weren’t able to coordinate it 😥
So instead we headed out to the Kanku-Breakaways Conservation Park which forms part of the traditional country of the
Antakirinja Matuntjara
Yankunytjatjara people. The view as we drove through was amazing with its spectacular colours- lots of WOW moments.
The journey took us along a section of the dog fence, which stretches 5,600 kms across more than half of the country. It was first built in the 1880s and is still maintained, the aim being to keep dingoes out of the farmland.
On the way back we detoured to Crocodile Harrys underground nest, home of Avid von Blumenthal, a Latvian born crocodile hunter, opal miner and eccentric who lived in Coober Pedy until his death in 2006- he can now be found at Boot Hill Cemetery 🪦. Enter his eclectic dugout at your own risk ⚠️
Returning to town we popped into CK underground bakery- so many yummy looking pastries and cakes/tarts, but couldn’t resist the Banh Mi which was sooooooo good.
Another beautiful sunset to end the day 🌅Read more
