AFter a very long drive on the Stuart Highway watching the landscape turn into the desert we eventually arrived in Coobe Pedy. It must be the most bizarre town ive visited so far. it is obviously in the middle of nowhere and is only there for the opal mines. The landscape is dotted with dust mound where mines are.

There is a causeway across to a small island called Granite island and is home to Little Penguins. The island has paths around so you are able to walk around and look for little penguins. During the day the penguins go out for food but we did see a few penguins still in their dens and they are very litt...
