🙂 Stunning landscape

🙁 HOT!

We were up super early and drove to Olgas for a walk. Trent completely unenthusiastic. Paul decided to do the long walk and Trent and whimpered about the heat and nearly passed out! It was spectacular and worth enduring the searing heat.

We were mighty relieved to get back to the van and we drove straight back to the swimming pool. We cooked a meal and headed off. While we were stopped for a break a car pulled up next t us and we were paranoid but it just turned out that they needed help with their car. We packed up and headed off asap until we reached the Stuart Highway where we stopped off at a Roadhouse for the night. Next stop Coober Pedy.
