After leaving Alice, we headed down the old Ghan railway line to Chambers Pillar
The old railways line has been graded into a road, but the old railway spikes are still laying around to play havoc on your tyres....
And the track is pretty isolated
The bull dust at Finke was pretty intense
Dalhousie Spring was interesting but way too hot - air 44degrees, water 35degrees, complete with biting fish... too hot even at night
The springs feed the desert, and there's a little green for a while
and thees strange mossy plants
The abandoned Dalhousie Homestead has been restored
These unusual blood trees flake off in the heat
Oodnadatta roadhouse... looked after by an english backpacker???
The Painted desert near Oodnadatta
Painted desert from Space
This moonscape region near Coober Peddy has been used for SCIFI movies
It's covered with these crystal fragments
Onto Coober Pedy and the breakaways
Opal mine tailing dumps
The Town
South into the Lake Gairdner region
Banded brown snake
Lake Gairdner
Gawler range National Park
and finally Ceduna for one night before racing off home
3.5 day drive to home
