Coober Pedy to Alice Springs, Northern Territory

Today we travelled just under 700 kilometres, crossing into the Northern Territory, on our way to the piercing red dirt of the Alice Springs outback. This is a massive drive but especially for us towing Florence the caravan who is only rated for 80 kph. We ate our lunch of wraps at the border, jumping at the iconic sign before continuing our journey north. The heat at this time of year is relentless and the flies unforgiving, we were extremely grateful for the air-conditioned sanctuary of Cherry the Trailblazer. 

Kulgera Pub is famously the first pub along the Stuart Highway when entering the Northern Territory from South Australia with a welcoming can of XXXX Gold.
