12 June 2007 – Coober Pedy to Woomera

“She” was up early to shower but on the understanding that we could not depart before 9.30am (local time) as funds from the credit union would not be available until then.  At 9.15am “He” made a withdrawal and we departed Coober Pedy.   This little incident highlighted the need to ensure that you carry sufficient cash when travelling as you cannot always rely on ATM’s and not everyone takes credit cards.

The drive was an non event with the only real highlight watching a farmer heard some sheep using a light aircraft.

Upon arriving at Woomera we checked into the only caravan park in town (charged $24 for the night!) before we visited a local museum and the heritage centre.  We rang our son, Mum, Michelle (for her birthday) and finally our daughter-in-law (left a message).

Sausage and a rice dish for tea, it is likely to be the coldest night we have experienced so far.

“She” took some sensational pictures of sunset over the desert. This part of Australia is really wilderness.
