On our way to Yulara

After leaving Coober Pedy and the mullock hills we begin our next leg to Yulara, Central Australia. We have refuelled, filled water and stocked up on supplies. The turn off to the Lasseter Hwy, which takes you out to Yulara  is aprox 80km past Kulgera at Erldunda.

 

The ever changing scenery.

 

After finding dusk approaching, and being about 150km short of our planned stop and no bull bar, we decide to pullover at our first free camp. It was called the Marriot Hotel, no sorry the Marryat Rest Area. Just off the highway with a couple of other vans for company and the sound of the occasional road train. Open fires and starfilled skies, it doesn't get any better than this.

 

The next morning we hear the kids giggling. Apparently whilst they were searching for wood the previous night, a caravan pulled over on the side of the highway. A couple of children came out, dropped their pants and did their business on the side of the road behind some brush, all in clear shot of our kids and obviously unware of the eyes watching. They finished and left never knowing they were observed the whole time. This certainly has kept the kids amused and very relieved that we carry a loo with us.

We could have stayed here for ever but Uluru awaits!!!
