The last week or so has been great the first stop Coober Pedy is a little town in the middle of nowhere it has alot of greeks and a lot of opals.We went into an opal shop and the guy in there was very nice he gave us a little tour of his shop and let us look through his pot of opals and he said he would clean them up for us and let us keep them,mum and bronte got one polished and they look very nice. In the summer the book says it gets up to 50 degrees in summer so all their houses are made under ground to keep them cool. Then on the way to the next stop we were caught in alittle dust storm we got out of the car to have lunch and and everything got covered in sand and dust so we carried on to a very small town called williams creek the population’s only 5 but when we arived it was 9.We had a drink in a pub and moved on to our stop for the night Flinders Range it was really good there very green and lots of emus and kangaroos to look at. We went on some walks but we only had a day there but even a day was good. Now we’re in a property near a place called Broken Hill. Its a sheep farm and we have been doing a lot of sheep rounding up and driving in the little suzuki we have to sit in the back and its very bumpy but fun. We have been sleeping in the shearers quarters. Its a small room with a few beds and a kitchen there’s two dogs and they’re both fun to have around, we’re leaving tomorrow and heading for Brisbane,ive also found to shingle back lizards nests and ive got lots of pictures to show everyone,see you in 11 days……..jack
