Need to decide where we head now. The original plan (as vague as it was) had us in Coober Pedy a couple of days later so we were heading home from here but the combination of dust storms and simply that the places we went didn’t need more than a night means that we have a week left. We take the Stuart Highway south.
Lake Hart is the highlight of the day. A vast salt lake separated from the rest area on the highway by the new Ghan railway line. We crossed the track and walked gingerly onto the salt. We then jumped as hard as we could. Absolutely solid. I had been disappointed that we couldn’t get to Lake Eyre South and didn’t make the effort to go out to Lake Eyre North. The experience on Lake Hart made up for this entirely. We took some salt to use at home.
We diverted back into Woomera to say hello to the cocky in Breen Park and to have lunch. Well watered lush lawn was a nice change (from where we had been and Yarraville).
A plan was hatched that seeing as we were heading past the Spencer Gulf, surely there must be some fishing charter we could hop onto and fill out the couple of extra days. We ended the day in Port Pirie after having tried Port August and Port Germein. No fishing charters to be had. At least we got into a motel in time for Top Gear. The tent is again spending the night in the car.
