This morning we packed up from our side-of-the-road stop at Lake Hart and ventured into the bush along the only sealed road from Port Augusta to Coober Pedy. Right now I am in Coober Pedy in the middle of South Australia. It’s a real hole in the ground, actually lots of holes in the ground! Coober Pedy is where they mine for opals and yesterday we all camped on the side of the road and used a tree for the toilet!
Earlier today we all went into town and we went to the underground bookshop (in Coober Pedy it can be so hot that they temperature underground is a more suitable temperature for people than above ground) and then we went to the underground catholic church.
When we got back to the campsite, Matilda and I went to the playground and because I was silly enough to wear thongs (or flip-flops) I cut my foot on a rock and currently have two steri-strips and a band-aid over my cut!
P.S. I really Miss all my friends back home and I can’t wait to see you all again!
