We all had a pretty good sleep last night and got up this morning feeling quite refreshed. I think the couple of days rest has done us all good. Showered, breakfasted and then got stuck into sorting out the caravan cupboards. Up to now things have just been put in wherever. By spending a bit of time we have made more room in the cupboards (so now we can fit more things in!) and we also repacked the back of the car so everything fits much better and there is room for more stuff if we want.
We went to the Breakaways this afternoon and stayed there to watch the sunset. We drove to an area past the Breakaways called the Moon Plain (because it looks almost like the moon's surface - flat and dead) and the dog fence.
The Breakaways are fascinating and the sunset was spectacular. I have put a few photos on for interest - some taken during the day and some taken right on sunset when the colours are quite different. I actually took over 160 photos today and I am not posting all of them otherwise I will be up all night! Have just put a few on for interest.
What is of interest is that we have seen almost no wildlife in or around Coober Pedy at all. We thought that coming back into CP after sunset we might have seen kangaroos or similar but they are very absent! We saw a small hawk or falcon, a couple of crows, one butterfly and one cocky but that is all.
Nonetheless it was a lovely afternoon / evening.
We are leaving CP tomorrow morning and continuing on our northward journey. We will probably stop somewhere between Marla and Kulgera tomorrow night and I have no idea whether internet access will exist so there may not be a blog until we get to Uluru.
The weather today has been glorious. Blue sky and about 25 degrees. Just lovely.
PS: Will upload photos tomorrow or next day. At the moment it is taking too long and we will be up until midnight at this rate.
