Going across the top of the Eyre Peninsula from Port Augusta to Ceduna was very pretty.  Lots of little towns who seem to welcome travellers.  The wheat is still small and green and it makes the country side look beautiful.  

We stopped at one spot and there were some cows in the distance.  As soon as they spotted us they came running!!!!  A bit nerve wracking watching a herd of cows running towards you, but I stood my ground, behind three strands of barbed wire, and took photos.  I think they were a bit cranky that we didn't have anything for them to eat......, or it was my comment about one in particular making a nice mat......

We have finally hit the coast at Ceduna and are now hugging the coast around the Eyre.  Bit chilly, but not that bad.

Home for the next month - Venus Bay 💖

 Coober Pedy is a very interesting quirky place.  It has one of the lowest rainfalls in Australia, so what happened while we were there???? YEP, drizzley rain for three days!!!!  It turned into a mud pit!!!!  Still quite interesting.  

Woomera was also interesting.  We had the best phone/internet coverage ever!!  thanks ADF.

We are now heading across the top and then back around the coast line of the Eyre Peninsula and it is lovely to see all the green fields and mountain ranges.

Not long till we hit the water!!!

 We finally made it to Ayers Rock (Uluru)!!!  Lots of nothing between AR and Alice.  The rock, however, is pretty amazing.  It is an easy drive, or walk, around it and I was surprised about how green it is around it.  The day was overcast and drizzly, but it was still good to see all the different colours and textures of the rock.  Unfortunately, you are only allowed to take photos of about half of the rock, due to cultural reasons.  But, still got some pretty amazing shots.

Next were The Olgas, which were also pretty impressive.

Then, Kings Canyon.  Again, pretty amazing.  I didn't do the rim walk, I took one look at the stairs and decided to stay home and crochet......  Wayne did the walk and was pretty stuffed when he got back, but he got some good shots!!!

Very expensive out here - they have you cornered - you need fuel, you have to pay $2.95 a litre!!!!  

The weather is turning pretty cool at night, but still nice days.  Amazing sunsets!!!! (to cold to get up in the morning for a sunrise shot!)

Finally!!!!
