On the road again.... Sing it with me!
Today we are on the Oodnadatta Track, heading for Coward Springs.
Unfortunately Betsy (our Landrover Discovery) has a star shaped stone chip from some inconsiderate driver going the opposite direction who didn't slow down - not happy!
Had a stop off at Marree where the General Store is a license to print money. So busy! Emily was excited however as she got to have a meat pie and Zac had a pizza scroll - fancy!
We also had a look at the old Ghan diesel engines that are there.
We stopped at the sculpture park, the kids enjoyed looking at it all however Craig didn't understand it and why!
Had a quick look at Lake Eyre South, Zac and Emily are both amazed at how big it is. We showed them the map and how "small" it is compared to Lake Eyre and they now cannot wait to see it.
You can see the salt pan bed where there is no water, fantastic stuff!
The wind was howling at Coward Springs. However this did not stop us going in the natural mineral spa which was nice and warm. A nice dust storm early in the evening made us batten down the hatches. Cooking dinner is always a task in conditions like these. A night to eat inside and play UNO with the kids.
The wind died down later and it was time for some star gazing. Craig's night time photography is getting better each night, he got some awesome shots of the night sky!
