SA Border

This morning we had a sleep in, well deserved after our last few days of go go go!!! The last few mornings have been very cold, but then it's blue skies and warm sunshine, today being no exception. We have lucked out with the most awesome weather on this trip, just a few rainy days, although we are expecting a few more getting closer to Victoria and all!!  We packed up camp and headed into the community of Yulara to have a look around, to see the market stall, yes stall not stalls!, and also for the spear and boomerang throwing demonstration. There was audience participation, and Troy, Graeme and the kids gave the spear throwing a good go, nearly hitting the stick they had set up as a target. 

We then went to listen to some bush yarns, a Traditional Owner sitting by the fire telling stories of his ancestors, that contradicted all the other stories we have recently been told! 

We then said our goodbyes to the Sydney crew and set off, destination SA border. The drive was pretty uneventful, although we did stop at Erldunda and the kids got friendly with some emus!

The scenery turned more barren the closer we got to SA! We arrived by late afternoon and set up camp in a free stay right on the border. 

The kids got a fair amount of homework done tonight, as there wasn't a whole lot else to do!! We were off the grid again, so absolutely no idea what is happening in the outside world, not that we've had much of an idea for quite some time!! We cooked dinner and snuggled up against the cold, closer to home once more!!
