Coober Pedy is Australia's most productive Opal field. The towns name means 'white fellows hole in the ground' apparently. After the piles of rubble in cone shapes the next thing you notice is the danger signs. The sign read 'do not run, beware deep shafts, don't walk backwards' each illustrated with someone plummeting to their death.... Excellent - we won't bother getting out of the camper :/ We drove through the town, sticking to the roads! There is no greener...

This morning is the start of our road trip! We left our bags in the hostel and headed through the town to pick up our Apollo camper. The camper was a relocation one. The plan was to drive it from Alice springs to Melbourne. It's $1 per day with $100 off fuel... I was worried that something might happen driving through a desert for 3 days so we got all the insurance bringing the cost to $90 for the 3 days. We wanted to see 'the town underground' so we decided to...

Another torch in our face and it was time to get up. It was half 4 so we had half an hour to pack up, get washed and get on the bus.

All I could hear in my head is ...

We were woken by Dylan shining a light in our eyes. I think it was 5am. I'd had a delightful sleep. I'd brought my silk sleeping bag so I was cool and covered... Lee didn't. He was hot and exposed. He woke all through the night hitting himself haha. He said bugs crawled on him all night. I didn't feel one? We eat our breakfast around the fire and watched the sun rise over the bush land. The colours our so beautiful. It was like we were in the jungle book! We ju...

We were up at 5. We had breakfast, stripped the beds, got a wash and was on the tour bus by 6. We headed out of Alice Springs to a camel farm. Lee said he didn't wanna be the one to break the camels back.... (Ba bum tsh) so I rode my 1st camel! It hurts! They bob u up and down. I don't know how people ride miles on them?! After a ride (and a chat to the camel asking him not to spit at me, he agreed) we saw some kangaroos and Emus then headed towards Kings Canyon....
