Salt Lakes, Roadkill & CB Blunders

We headed into sunny (but still cold) South Australia yesterday after having nicely stocked up with lots of fresh fruit and veg to last a good while...when of course it all had to be dumped into the nearest quarantine receptacle didn't it?? After restocking we are on our way to an interesting one horse town called "Keith" which was definitely more "Rural" than"Urban" as Mark pointed out...

Day 3 had Charlie starting off the day with.."Dad, can we go home now?", but we pressed on to Adelaide for lunch where there was an "awesome" playground. Port Germein was our overnight stop where we sampled the local pub fare (delicious and cheap) and checked out the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere at sunset. Now we are starting to relax and enjoy this new life for awhile.

Before finishing up in Coober Pedy tonight we had some interesting daytime moments.....an amazing Salt Lake (Hart) we walked onto, a crack in the windscreen, several examples of roadkill, including wedgetail eagles & a fox chowing down on various carcasses, a roadside stop with at least 30 sparkling white caravans (grey nomads) putting our lil' old beige/brown one to shame as Ella kindly pointed out.

But by far the funniest was when Mark decided to jump on the CB to "warn the truckies" of an errant cow on the side of the road incase of accident. The banter back and forth was halarious to say the least..."Oh no, a COW"...."Better get a bucket under it then"..."Must be a bum steer"....."Looks like it's mooooved on mate"...Oh well, at least we know the CB works!
