Day 104 Friday 5th October. Uluru – Coober Pedy

Up early to pack up for a big day in the car. We left Uluru and after a stop for Jason’s 2^nd coffee of the day, we were on our way. Topped up on diesel at Erldunda Roadhouse where Jason had his 3^rd coffee! About 30kms down the Stuart Highway we crossed over the NT/SA border.We stopped  again at Marla  for a toilet stop where we met up with our friends from Uluru, Craig and Leanne and kids! Since they were travelling to Coober Pedy as well we travelled with them for the afternoon then checked into our caravan park, http://www.stuartrangecaravanpark.com.au/  along  side them. The kids  enjoyed some more time together and we all had a swim in the pool. Showers were 20cents for 2 minutes which was pretty good considering we paid $1.00  8 years ago at the Oasis Caravan Park. After dinner the kids enjoyed movie night at our campsite. The temperature didn’t drop off much in the evening,  31 degrees at 8.30pm!! 

             

 We are entering the sixth state of our trip.
