Today we drove from William Creek to Coober Pedy. In Coober Pedy there was a metal tree, a tree with lots of helmets, and a big winch. We camped in the carpark of the Old Timers Mine. For dinner we went to Dad's Pizza bar.
Today we drove from Marree to William Creek and by the way William is very much lacking in creek. The road was very bumpy and the cutlery draw fell out and went everywhere. We had lunch at Lake Eyre and took some photos - I had been learning about Lake Eyre in school before we left. The truck light fell off so we had to stop to fix it. We also stopped at Mutonia Sculpture Park to look at some statues my favourite one was the flower.
Another day on the move. Today we are headed to the start of the Oodnadatta Track at Marree. Along the way we stopped at Nipena Ediacara National Park entrance for a road side lunch and fossicking for cool looking rocks. Next stop was at the Orche Pits, which were beautiful outcrops of red, yellow, white, and orange orche deposits. Our last stop of the day was at the ghost town of Farina, where a group of volunteers come for 8 weeks every year. They work on rebuilding the old town and running an underground bakery oven to supply the cafe next door with bread. We lucked out and were there while the bakery was running.
We rolled into Marree late afternoon, found a campsite, and wandered around town until sunset.
