Day 6

---

Hey all,

Day 6 had us Leaving Uluru for Oodnadatta but it wasn't to be and we ended up in Coober Pedy.
I was absolutely shattered yesterday arvo!
We heard on the UHF that the rain we had at Uluru had gotten worse and moved towards the Simpson closing all roads down the Oodnadatta.
No access in or out. I called the roadhouse to confirm and he said at least 2-3 days until roads might be opened.
When we got to Marla we drove 500m down the Oodnadatta track to the signs and sure enough everything was closed, NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!!

We decided to put in a big day then and drive to Coober Pedy and stay in an underground Hotel for the night which was great.
They drilled a big horizontal hole into the the ground, put some doors on the front, put some furniture in it and charge you $100, was fantastic tho.
Coober Pedy had also copped the rain and the streets were muddy and slightly flooded.
