Another long day driving, after breakfast at the inn from hell we set of for kalgera NT. But not before we stopped in at Coober peddy to check out the old mines and scratch round for some opals, Matt managed to find a rock with some remnants, no phone coverage north of here until we reach the rock. We then took a detour down the oodnadatta track to the dog fence and the rock castle's, the scenery was spectacular, JC managed to stay upright all day today after offloading yet another bag. The last bag failed inspection and uncovered a soft pillow, after interrogation JC owned up to it and identified his partner in crime Carmel whom he tells us forced him to bring it and made it specially for him.
We headed into Kalgera after 6:00pm on the way passing brumbys and stray cattle.
It was odd to see these outback roads with green grass at its edges, later we would learn that the highway was under water a few days earlier with 4 feet of rain blocking it off. The roadhouse here is a marked improvement on last night with a clean refreshing pool. Dinner at the pub was awesome and the foos ball table kept us amused for ages with its players spinning freely and a ball return that made you fetch it from the floor. Matt was so amused he Injured himself in fits of laughter.
The publican gave us a few tips on where to stay at the rock and informed us that the highway north of 3 ways (Tennant creek) was under water and expected to remain like that for a week.
