After another early start to watch the sunrise reflect on the rock we slowly got ready to get back on the road. Refills for gas and water and a few food supplies and we were checked out by 10am. Kings Canyon was the next destination so we only had around 300km today. Back up Lassiter Hwy to turn off and head north to Kings Canyon. We pulled up at Kings Creek Station for a drink and looked at their camels, horses, a donkey and a dingo pup. We booked into an u...

We attempted a sunrise view of Uluru this morning and got a glimpse before it went behind the clouds.

We did a couple of walks, the first was Walpa Gorge and being a crevice between two high rocks was shady and cool with a little creek and oasis in among the rocks. The second walk was at the Valley Of The Winds. We did th...

We had breakfast at Erldunda, the turn off for Lassiter Highway then ...

We then tried our hand at noodling through the local opal fields and Rose had a good score with a decent sized rock. We found o few more little pieces before deci...

On the road by 8.30am, and left the Oodnadatta track to head toward Coober Pedy about 6 Km's out of William Creek. The road was hard packed red sand and was almost like driving on a highway in most places. We passed through Anna Station, Australia's largest cattle Station, part of Sydney Kidman's cattle empire. Although the cattle were few and far between. When we made it to Coober Pedy we checked in to the Big 4 caravan park after a reference by another cou...
