Day ?? – Back to Port Augusta.

Today is the day that I totally lose track of time and get the days wrong, and then decide, “Who am I kidding? Who wants to know EVERY DAY of my travels?”

So no more ‘day labels’. I’ll just try to distill the essential bits of each section of our trip.

Anyway, this one – boring. After phoning the road rescue dude for the area, I’ve decided to not take a road called the ‘Ooodnadatta Track’. It’s rocky, it’s bad, and it’ll destroy my car was essentially what the chap told me. Doesn’t sound like good adventure to me. So we had to take the long way round on bitumen back the way we came more or less to Port Augusta before we set off for Coober Pedy – world Opal capital and then onto the middle to see Uluru and Kata Tjuta (formerly known as Ayer’s Rock and ‘The Olgas’).
