Dear Porky,
Oondadatta track is wonderful even though the road is challenging
By late afternoon we arrived at Coober Pedy and stayed at Mt. Stuart Randell caravan park with all the facilities like washing machine, hot showers etc. we wandered along the akin drag, but to HER the town was tacky, nothing what she expected. HER expectations where sweaty outback blokes with hairy armpits, tattoos and worn in felt hats, slightly insane people muttering to themselves living in holes or dug out caves. Instead there was a classy hotel, a lot of mining museums, backpacker accommodation in 'real' caves, opal shops r( the best and cheapest fire opals ever!) and tours to mines and surroundings from$5 to $230 . Well THEY did have a mixed grill at the local diner called John's Pizza Bar which was the size of a 'mates plate' SHE had with Pia in Perth. So THEY shared one. We called it a early night, because it was rather frigid at night again and snuggled up in our feather down sleeping bags. Early in the morning we left for Alice springs. Dear porky that is it for now.
Love Petunia
