This is a Rocket display in Woomera
Now been travelling from Roxby to Coober Pedy for the last 2 weeks.
We've travelled from Roxby Downs -> Ceduna -> Kalgoorlie -> across the Anne Bedell and into Coober Pedy.

Everyone has had a punctured tyre with the exception of the Greenways (Bastards). Shouldn't be too jealous because we've all been using Michael's puncture repair kit. But rest assured the Greenways have had an issue with there aux fuel tank.

I never thought that the Australian Desert has so much to offer in terms of the different types landscape and flora. Unfortunately the only substantial animals we've seen have been lying dead on the side of the road.
Visited the Atomic bomb test sites along the Anne Bedell highway, now in a Cober Peady underground hotel while my parents are sitting under a tarp in some dodgy caravan park.

Ahh the Anne Bedel, I had a small traffic accident 200 klms into the Anne Bedell involving me being stationary, and a motorcycle falling into the drivers side door, my rear light assembly fell off, and two way antenna snapped as a result of the frigging corrugated roads. I swear if I see another corrugated road it will be too soon.

Anyways I'm now going to visit the 5 star restaurant and bar.

See you all soon.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
