Travelled north on the Stuart Highway just short of 200km we passed Lake Gairdner (which Malcolm Campbell had driven his bluebird on in an attempt at the world speed record) ,one of the lake eyre family to Pimba, which pretty much consists of a roadhouse with a campground attached There's toilets and paid showers so it's a fairly neat place.
took the bus to Woomera. Looked at all the rockets and other things that were developed there in static outside dispalys.
We visited the 2 museums in the township and spent about half a day there ( could have spent much longer as the exhibits were excellent and reminded us of things we knew growing up)
should have gone back to Pimba but pushed on to Roxby Downs and opal mining town of Andamooka.
Unfortunately, it was too late when we got there and returned under cover of darkness. The other unfortunate thing about it was that the fuel economy was calculated at 1.6km/l !!
