The Long Fence

We have had a day of very long driving. Mum and Dad say that there is not much to stop in between. We have crossed the boundary of the longest fence in the world, the dingo fence or dog fence. Since then, I haven't seen any more dingoes!
In Coober Pedy, we have to pay extra for showers. The owner of the camp ground tells us that the water in Coober Pedy is the most expensive water in Australia. It is pumped from underground, then filtered. It is all drinking water, but there is no free tap anywhere in town. But you can take your caravan to a "water refill" station where you pay 20 c for 40 litres.

The dog fence is over 5000 km long.

This feels like real desert - we can't do a "bush wee" any more: no more bushes!

Coober Pedy has lots of warning signs

I took this picture from the outback night sky from the hill above.
