It's been a while since we've done a drive that was more than five hours long so we stopped off at Kulgera for a fantastic cup of coffee and a stretch.

Somebody must have had really bad smelly feet judging by their washing line.
We saw a dingo some Wedge Tailed Eagles and a long legged bird that ran out in front of us. We've decided it was an Egret - although thinking about it now I think that might be a character from a TV series.
when we finally got to Coober Pedy we stopped off for fuel and did what a shop sign told us to:
I'm not sure if I'm an opal fan really. I'll have to think about it. I would have preferred it if it was a cheese shop really.
Anyhoo - we are now at Reekus (something like that) camp area. Most places in Coober offer underground accommodation but we wanted above ground.
Here's a snapshot of where we are.
So we have our little patch of gravel surrounded by chook wire. It's quite chilly already.

Our view is ... interesting. But that's Coober for you ... all dust and very little cheese.
Al has made some great coffee and oddly the tent pegs went in really well ( into the ground - not the coffee).
