Happy Birthday to Himself.
Long day today. Up early to drive 537 km from Pt Augusta to Coober Pedy.
Was a very warm night last night, we were both awake often until Himself finally turned the fan on and cooled the bedroom. No sooner back to sleep, then the alarm went off! Grrrr. Just before we went to bed we watched an ambulance and two fire trucks with all lights and sirens blaring rush out the Darwin road and eventually return with lights but no sirens. No sign during our travels today as to what the call out was but do hope it was not too bad.
Was nice to be back on the open roads with three and four trailer road trains, so good to see 'real' trucks again. One of the trucks we saw was a camel train. Well it was a road train carrying camels!
We had not missed the seriously sticky flies but I guess we will get used to them again. We got fuel at Glendambo and every fly at that stop invited themselves into our vehicle.
Off and on all day it rained, well it sprinkled a couple of times and bucketed for about 30 seconds a couple of times, so I guess this is classed as raining in the outback.
We are now in Coober Pedy and will stay two nights then move on again.
