We crossed the border after about 20km. We have been in the NT for 40 days. It's been grand! Just a pity that we had to cut it short, but we'll be back.
We stopped at Coober Pedy for lunch. On the way in there were heaps of mines - mounds of white rubble.....
The town is very opal oriented, but was all shut up as it's Sunday.
Then on to Woomera. This is what we looked at for most of the day.....
We got into Woomera at about 4pm and checked in to a cabin at the caravan park. Another double bed! All the cabins so far have had doubles not queens - and Mike doesn't fit (not a happy chappy).....
Woomera is a very eerie town. Only 148 people live here (I asked the lady in the caravan park office). There are missiles on street corners and a whole park full of them. It feels very much like a military base. It's deserted but not derelict, a town that's waiting.
We thought of a couple of options for the Crownie - a Woomera rocket or the Ghan.....
But the highlight was a fabulous sunset on a huge horizon.
