Made it to Coober Pedy, pretty slick for about 50k the rest pretty good. . Just waiting in line at the car wash. .

I must admit I wonder why you would bother on the basis the roads are going to be like this for the next 500klm!! Anyway, another baby step forward, fingers crossed the rain stops, the wind picks up and sun comes out to dry things out. It will be interesting how many people have been stranded or decided not to move from Dalhousie or other jump off spots.

We came up with a Plan B this morning as Plan A is out of the question.
We are leaving Coober Pedy early tomorrow morning to head to Curtin Springs for 2 nights. We will day trip into Uluru and do some exploring around there.
From there we will go through Finke and Mt Dare for an overnight stop at Dalhousie, then do the crossing in 3 days rather than the planned 4.

Were losing a day at Dalhousie and a day in the desert but gaining a lot too.
