Sorry, in Yulara resort they wanted 20 Aud for the connection to the internet, so I did not sent anything. Let you know – I am well 🙂
To avoid the heat we started our drive today at 7 am. At 10 am we reached Erldunda roadhouse on the Stuart Highway. It was necessary to buy the new portion of fuel. They know it. The price of the petrol is exorbitant – 1,62 AUD per litre!! It cost Only 1,12 on the coast… Cry and pay!
Headinng south after an hour we reached the border with South Australia. Nice monument there and 24h parking allowed with a toilet and water. No border control, they only ask to throw out to the bin fruits and plants – the bin is 160 kms onward – in Marla.:)
Then flat and dry steppe and finally – mountains of the dugout sand.
It is Coober Pedy – the world capital of opals. In the old mining places they offer now underground cafes, motels. Churches are also underground. We stay in such underground institution B&B it is pleasantly cool, while outside is a outback heat.
