We didn't really see what the complete fuss was about regarding Coober Pedy, which is the 'opal capital of the World'. A lot of it was meant to be underground, but most of what we saw seemed to be over ground. I know what you as the reader are thinking now. If it was underground, you wouldn't be able to see it anyway. When we got there, t was good to see a visitor centre, and some shops with food and water, as we seemed to be running out of it those thick and ...

We took a brisk two hour climb to the top of a scenic viewing area at Wilpena Pound, so getting out of the place nice and early didn't work out as planned, especially as we ended up asking the park ranger for directions. When we did set off, I think we saw about 8 cars all day. Thank goodness we didn't break down at any point, because it felt like there was only us within a 200km radius, and that probably wasn't too far from reality. The heat at times was diffi...

The hostel I stayed in for 3 nights was 'homely' and it felt home from home, with it being situated on 'Wakefield road'. For the first time in 6 weeks, I was away from the extravagance and exuberance of Sydney and Melbourne, and although some didn't have too many positive things to say about Adelaide, I liked it. It just felt like a big town by English standards. The train station a...

It was South Australia's version of Scarborough really, but without as many 2p machines. It was nice and pretty like every place I have visited in South Australia (apart from the industrial area I saw one Tuesday morning), and yes I have just insinuated that Scarborough is a nice and pretty coastal town. We walked over to Granite Island, which was a lot cheaper and a lot smaller than Kangaroo Island. Walking over to the Island, we encountered camels on the beac...
