We were all packed up and ready to head off by 9am, the Cronans leading the way. If l thought the drive from Kings Canyon to Coober Pedy was boring, then l was shocked to find that from Coober Pedy to Woomera was bloody worse. Absolutely nothing to see but dirt, scattered trees and more burnt out cars (surprise surprise!). One great thing was the amount of wedge tail eagles about in the sky and also eating the road kill along the way. A huge one was feeding on wh...

Well l can finally remember why l hated the drive up the center of Australia ten years ago! The drive from Marla to Coober Pedy, although shortish, was the most boring drive we'd done in a long time. All we saw was a long road with. Itching each side other than dirt and the occasional burnt out car. We arrived at Coober Pedy by 11:30am, and it was exactly as l remembered. As you come in you see big sporadic mounds of dirt scattered in clusters with old mining tr...

We hit the road from Kings Canyon in good time, mid morning and fill the Nissan up at a cost of $2.30/L!!! Bloody hell hey....

After packing up at Uluru we headed down the road, now when l say down the road l mean 300+kms, to Kings Canyon. I had been looking forward to this for months. It was a long drive but the girls were entertained by the DVD player in the back. We booked into Kings Canyon Resort Campground for $48 per night and were looking forward to a dip in the pool to be told on arrival that it was out of order. Can you believe it! We could, however, drive up the road and sneak ...

Who would have thought that it would take no time to pack up after two months!! Marty was obviously very excited, haven't seen him this happy since Bali....needless to say he was ecstatic! He was going around all mirning doing the Ralphy Dance and singing "Whoop Whoop"... So l must explain about Ralphy at this point. It all started with Cam adopting this top notch pigeon and calling him Ralphy. So everytime we saw a top notch pigeon they were known as Ralphy. Now...
