Currently At the Travellers Rest at Marla SA ( The Last town in SA before we cross into NT). Thought we should make a few miles since spending 3 days in Burra. Spent 1 night in Glendambo before reaching Coober Pedy The Opal Capital of the World. Spent a couple of nights there in the Stuart Range Caravan Park which was pretty well full both nights. Lachlan was desperate to go "Noodling" for opal in the many heaps of dirt and stones in the township, did not manage to find any opal in the main Noodling area, however he found some small opals at the Noodling pit at the "Old Timers Mine in town". Even Lyla got in on the act ( see the Coober Pedy Photo album). A change in the weather has arrived and we have had some rain and thunderstorms as we left Coober Pedy, stopped for lunch at Cadney Homestead decided not to stay as we wished to drive further so here we are at Marla for 1 night before heading off to get closer to Ayres Rock, hoping to get there Tuesday 25th May. Lachlan will commence Open Access school next week much to his disgust after having a week of freedom reality has set in as he knows school work will start tomorrow. We are all finally getting over a cold that has stayed with us during this week and we are all looking forward to the warmer weather.
