A family holiday for 6 months around Australia. Switching off for a while to remind ourselves of why we are doing what we do. Enjoying time with our little family that we have created. Creating some great memories and taking some awesome photographs as well.
After a great camp fire night with Brian & Merrilyn (our new found travel buddies) today saw us awaken to the picturesque Heart Lake. Although it is only a roadside stop-over, it is one of the better ones because of the lake.

We took a morning walk down to the salt lake with Brian and Merrilyn it was amazing to see such a huge lake without water but with its salt left behind... lots of great shots. Brian collected some salt to put in his salt grinder for dinner tonight.

After noticing that all the freight trains come right by this lake, I decided to video underneath one. This can be very dangerous and the video proves this.

The glare from the white surface made it hard for the girls not to squint

We jumped back into the van pushed forward to Coober Pedy today.
Along the way we started to see lots of road kill.. a tone of eagles and Kites (small eagles). We were warned when leaving port Augusta to be aware of cows, roos and strangely enough eagle. As anyone of these could jump out in front of you at any time. its not uncommon to see 4 or 5 wedge tail eagles sitting on the side of the road eating a dead carcus.
