Roxby Downs to Coober Pedy

Hi again to all,

We arrived at Roxby Downs on Tuesday on the Wednesday we went to Andamooka then Woomera. We also visited the mine & had a nice relaxed time there. From Roxby we headed Coober Pedy some of our trip is here for you to see.

Some of our days at Coober Pedy, The Breakaways just north, note the water course across the valley floor.

The general view across the plains just gibber stones

The Breakaway coloured hills, the colours very so much we just loved this area

Moon Stone rocks used to build many building in Coober Pedy, the rocks are now protected as not many are left on the plains

A freight train on the line at Lake Hart

This is Lake Hart, a normally dry salt lake. Just the most beautiful place.

When we where at Roxby Downs we did a our of Olympic Dam. This is a BHP Bilaton copper mine in the remote area of SA. The town is small & neat, a nice place to stay.
