Up before 5 am to catch the coach to Alice springs. And the long trip up the Stuart highway. Was nice to see the sunrise this morning from the coach the sky was an awesome orange colour. We were on the coach for 2 and a half hours before we even saw another building which shows you how isolated coober pedy is. It was a petrol station and people were camping there.

Woke up and headed to the supermarket to get some breakfast and buy something for dinner. I had a walk round coober pedy was hot but the wind was nice and cool.
