Day 31 22/08/11 A noisy night despite Lake Hart being a nice spot ………….. Wasn’t really the Road Trains this time, it was the Freight trains that kept waking Toby & myself up. About 7 passed during the night…… busy railway line! We were on the road by 9am after having a couple of nice chats with fellow campers, some heading north some south. One couple with 3 kids had been on the road for 10 months – home schooling the kids – heading home fo...

Day 30 21/08/11 Sleep in !! Billy didn’t wake till 7.30am……….. Bonus!! All that walking yesterday must have worn him out. We enjoyed Pizza for Breakfast, the Camp Kitchen with Microwave was just across from us. Everyone else tucking into their healthy muesli and I’m heating up Pizza !!! One lady commented on how nice it smelled and no point in it going to waste …….. made me feel at little better! We topped up drinking water in Camper and Fuel in th...

Day 29 20/08/11Marla to Coober Pedy today, just under 300kms…….. so we enjoyed the sleep until Billy decided it was light enough to get up! On the road by 8.30am, about 80 kms down the road was Cadney Homestead serving Coffee & Cake for $4 sounded like a plan to me!! So we pulled in and enjoyed, only Sara Lee's Muffins & self service coffee/tea/milo but enjoyed just the same………….. can't expect too much for $4 these days I suppose! We arrived i...

Day 28 19/08/11 Early start this morning to view sunrise over Uluru ……………. Alarm set for 5.45am, we were in the car and travelling by 6.15am. Heading for the same Lookout as yesterday……….. Being a little further out of the way is a little less crowded. Many just head for the areas around the Rock but from this viewing area you can see both Uluru and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) was recommended by our friend Ben in Adelaide! Beautiful Sunrise! We then d...

Day 27 18/08/11 Happy 3rd Birthday Billy xoxox Woke to ash over the Camper and some very smoky canvas!! Very hazy today in Alice! Uluru is today’s destination! We have made some chances to our plans, have cut out Kings Canyon………. Time is running out and most walks with Billy are just impossible at this stage. So will go and see the rock and continue on……… Put the Canyon on the next list hopefully by then we can all experience its full potential! ...
