Tues-Thurs, now in Alice Springs

On our second day in Coober Pedy we visited an underground book shop and got some great books. We also looked at the history of opal mining, also underground, and checked out the Anglican Church...yep, underground.





In the afternoon we drove for about four hours before stopping at a campsite off the highway. The kids collected firewood and we had yummy marshmallows. I did the big "snakes, dingos (Jess calls them bingos) scorpions and crocodiles lecture", after having a dingo-cross circle us throughout lunch at the rest stop.



We are now in Alice Springs. I've washed around two tonnes of red dirt out of our clothes. Three of the kids have had temperatures the last two days, so today is mostly a rest and catch up on school work day.
