We started out early today as it was another day of many kilometres. Although it was long it has been our best day so far. We took a dirt track from Coober Pedy out to Oodnadatta arriving around 9:00am for some morning tea and happy snaps.

From Oodnadatta we took a small 20 min 4wd loop road - just for fun! We then headed along the Oodnadatta Track to William Creek - another 200km on a dirt highway. Plenty of sights to see along the way, Mt Dutton Ruins and The Old Ghan Railway to name a few.
Given that Lake Eyre is only 63km from William Creek, we weren't coming this far without taking a look. Some great fun was had getting out to Lake Eyre - the recent rain left some mud and water on the roads - Adam doesn't need an excuse to get a little 4x4 action when he can. Lake Eyre was vast - no water though, but well worth the drive.

We had a long but enjoyable day and saw sights that many only get to see on TV or magazines. After a few big days of driving, we will travel about 10km tomorrow to see some more of Coober Pedy before heading towards Ayers Rock the next day. Time for the girls to have a sleep in and a day out of the car :)
