Adelaide to Coober Pedy

It's probably about a thousand k's from Adelaide to Coober Pedy and when we looked back on the map we had barely made a dent in our planned drive. We stayed at places like Cradock, William Creek and Parachilna - isolated pub towns with populations less than 10.  Some cloud cover meant walking in the hills was reasonably safe and we encountered plenty of local wildlife both in the open and on our plate along the route.
