Day 13 Oodnadatta to Painted Desert 2733km

Day 13 Oodnadatta to painted desert

Red rocky dunes leads the way this morning as we convoy out to the painted desert with Joan and Bernie some seasoned travellers heading the same way

Highlights include being swooped firstly by a flock of KTM riders and then a flock of zebra finches

The multicoloured outcrops of painted desert were nothing short of spectacular

Met Kate who lives at the Strathgordon Lodge - just cycled from Farwin, down the West Coast & across the Nullarbor and now up the centre .. we thought we were adventurous and just as we were giving her a re-supply in the creek bed along cake a huge Downunder tours bus full of Grockles

Saw the first little mob of kangaroos on the Gibber plains amongst the saltbush
Closely followed by 2emu and a small group of cows

Back to “Oodnadatta” for the night and the chores of washing

Catchups with Joan and Bernie over nibbles round off the day nicely under a vivid display of stars.
