1564 km to go ...



We left Tracy’s work at approximately 15:15 ACST Friday 3rd October 2008 heading North to Uluru, NT; 1564 km away. Believing that we could get there by 15:00 the next afternoon [Google maps estimates that it should take 18 hrs 20 mins driving non-stop].


Passing through many country towns and losing phone reception for approximately 10 hours once we hit the desert and only getting limited service once we got to Coober Pedy [536 km from Port Augusta]. We drove straight through until 02:30 where we pulled into a rest stop off the side of the road to get some sleep in the car. We woke up at 06:15 just in time for a magnificent sunrise.
