Starting to get into the rhythm of this trip now. We've just had a great couple of days at the Flinders Ranges where we met up with friends from home. We took all 4 cars for a 4WD trek on the Arkapena track. Was lots of fun and Pete has found a new passion. Was very cold (subzero) at night, water frozen in buckets by morning, even the olive oil! Starting to aclimatize to the cold though and doesn't seem so bad now. So glad we packed the thermals. There are actually lots of people out camping in this temperature. Now in Woomera, went to the observatory tonight to do some stargazing but after standing round in the cold for 45 mins a local drove up & told us the volunteer rostered on tonight has a cold. The stars look great anyway. Travelling now with Nick, Erica, Sophie & Thomas (from home) to Coober Pedy & Uluru. Scenery is starting to look vast and very outback, but a bit green from recent rains. Sky goes on and on forever.
