I didn’t realise how nice Pt Augusta was until we got to Coober Pedy. The shock and realisation that we really were heading to the outback hit home. So did the flies. I probably would have enjoyed Coober Pedy more had we had more time to look around its unique features, underground accommodation and mines. The drive there was certainly uneventful compared to the complicated drive of the day before. Basically turn right and stay on the road for 530km and you are there. What is said is true that you don’t really understand how vast this country is until you travel through it. Hats off once again to those explorers.
The Big4 in Coober Pedy certainly does not get a good rap from me personally but the games room and pool, both situated unusually in water tanks kept the kids cool and entertained for the short time we were there. We met up with the family that we met in Pt Augusta and we will be meeting up again in Yulara.
