So we spent the next two days just driving, pretty much averaging about 800km a day before we came to a town called Coober pedy.
We actually past through a few other places along the way first including Peterborough and Port Augusta but they weren’t too exciting! On the first day we slept at a service station at a place called Pimba which wasn’t a bad little place to stop. Nothing much around but a good place to stop and very peaceful.
On the next day of journey from Sydney to Alice springs we stopped and had a look round a place called Coober Pedy. This is an opal mining town, infact the locals call it the opal mining capital of the world. It also as a few cool things like an underground aboriginal art gallery(that was nice and cool), very much welcome when it was 40+ outside. This is why many of the residents also choose to live underground in this Australia’s Outback town. It also had an information centre with 30 mins free Internet! Whoop!! Whoop!!
Crossing the border into the northern territory, we got about 20km in and made our stop for the night at kulgera, which again was a like a service station with a campsite and it had a pool.
