Heading South from Lambert's Centre. August 1 - Day 27 on track.

STATS: got forgotten as we did more kms and were heading home. sorry bout that. I will have a total at end of trip.

From Lambert's Centre we headed out through Kulgera (again!!) - pumped fuel and tyres, and headed south through Glendambo, Marla etc towards Coober Pedy. Camped off road about 100km north of Coober Pedy. A surprise for Milani after tea.


Milani photographing a tree.


The tree above up close

and again, didn't see too many of these.

an Eremophila at our lunch stop.

A Corkwood I think, toughest looking trees...really rugged and sculptural.
the flowers were  quite soft looking.
and unprotected.
amazing up close.
Just to prove Ska was back 'on task'
We saw this bloke a couple of time, 2 camels and the back of an old van, as his "Caravan". Stopped on the road for a cuppa and camel rest.
Milani decided she was going to run a 'shop' and her name was Crystal, the currency was rocks and sticks, here is the snack section.
Meg and Stef's set up, here comes Milani's hat.
Dad and his set up.
Pre dinner drinks and snacks by the fire.
The campsite, the major Stuart Highway was about 1km to the right of us, but we were well hidden from view.
Sunset beind my 'set up'
and again the colour in the clouds was changing by the second.
Still more colour.
Dad cooking the steak with sunsetting behind.
The sky was looking pretty intense out there.

Stef, Milani, Meg and Dad playing with their sparklers.

Is that an 8 and a 9?
lighting up again.
Here is a video of Milani with the last two sparklers.
