Day 38.
Coober Pedy - Woomera
On the road again we left Coober Pedy at 0945 heading for Woomera down Highway 87 even though we where further down the road the scenery was still the same flat barren and dry the only thing that we notice was that there was less road kill than two years ago and have not seen a kangaroo or Emu this side of Mount Isa and less Eagles as well.
We stopped at Glendambo for lunch and a top up some people try to make it to the next fuel stop hoping the price will be cheaper and they run out of fuel half way. Arriving at 1450 and did a load of washing the bar opened at 1600 so we went and had a couple of drinks with our travelers.
