Coober Pedy to Kulgera

Day 5 and we have made it to Coober Pedy, an amazing place. Visited the Old Timer's Opal Mine where "Trevor" showed us around. Checked out an underground house and spent some time fossicking in a mullock heap for slivers of opal (much to the kids' delight). Roamed around town (with a feral dog trailing us) and took in "The Big Winch" which sits above a mountain of rusted car bodies and corrugated iron etc. Driving out of town the landscape has to be seen to be believed, it really does resemble a moonscape, "The Breakaways" are some beautiful land formations formed over millions of years which we viewed in the late afternoon sun, very spesh!

Next stop was over the border and into the Northern Terrritory! ...Another (near) roadkill moment when a wedge-tailed eagle on the side of the road decided to include our car in it's flight path! Incredible birds very close up!! Pulled up mid afternoon at Kulgera Roadhouse next to our twin beige/brown Jayco! (A little smaller than ours which cheers us up no end). Was great to finally sit in the sunshine sipping champagne, watching the sunset and the kids playing happily in the dusty playground..
