Coober Pedy to Erldunda 21st April 2018


Leaving Coober Pedy was hard, it was a fascinating, if slightly “wild west” style town…..once you got used to it, we liked it very much.

Possibly a wedge tailed eagle? was sitting on this sign as we left…

Back on the road to Erldunda, with some serious road warnings, there were many versions of this, but DROWSY DRIVERS DIE just seemed SO Australian to us !

We were not going to make to Erldunda before sunset, so we stopped and took these at a truck pull in

Erldunda at last, and for a roadhouse, a very nice surprise, all clean and tidy, and fabulous veggie food…(Dave had the beef pie) .the staff were great and very helpful the added bonus a park on the side with Emus, Kangaroos and a small camel. The roadhouse also boasted a sunset viewing platform !!!
