Today we drove from Port Augusta to Coober Pedy. Just out of Port Augusta we visited the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Gardens and stood where Matthew Flinders stood at the head of Spencer Gulf during his circumnavigation of Australia in the early 1800's.
We then stopped off at Woomera and see some of the early rockets which were launched from there since 1947.
Then it was on to Coober Pedy where we watched a beautiful sunset at The Breakaways about 30kms North of Coober Pedy.
There has been a bit of rain up this way so there is a good tinge of green about the place and it looks pretty spectacular. The flies were very friendly today so I am glad I brought the fly net with me.
Tomorrow we have a flight over Lake Eyre so I am really looking forward to that.
Bye for now
