Monday 23rd May 2022
Today was to be a big driving day. After topping up the fridge and food, then breaking the bank filling up the car at $2.25 per litre today, OUCH, we were on our way. It was a very long drive all the way into the Northern Territory. I have excelled myself this trip doing 1.5hr stints behind the wheel. I am definitely feeling a bit more comfy driving the open road. Along the way there were a few changes to the scenery. Starting with the sand hills of mine dumps at Coober Pedy, then the green shrub dotted plains, then a few sections where the trees were a bit taller and more dense preventing us from seeing across the plains, then back to plains and then a bit of mountain ranges in the distance. We were hoping to get a bit closer to Uluru today but decided to stop at 4.15pm at the turn off to Uluru at the Erldunda Roadhouse, it may have been a mistake as the truck noise at the moment is quite loud. Hopefully the road trains stop before bed time.

Well it has been 4 years since we drove passed this turn off and it looks like tomorrow we will finally reach Uluru. I am really looking forward to seeing this magnificent rock. Hope everyone is well. Talk soon. Big hugs to you all. Love Fiona and David xx
