Back to Katherine - Albury to Roxby Downs

Following the wedding it was packing up time again and in the car for the long trip back up to the Territory. We did some big kilometres the first couple of days, stopping in a national park just past Mildura on the first night next to the Murray (I felt at home).

Thankfully we planned a few days with old friend Claire in Roxby Downs, SA. Roxby was basically created due to the mine and we were impressed that it has pretty much everything you need… including a better gym and aquatic centre than Katherine. We visited the old mining town of Andamooka, a strange little place, but quirky, as well as Lake Torrens, I think the second largest salt lake in Australia and Lake Mary, which has had water in it for about 12 months. Claire and I also had to make the most of our matching cars....

Great to catch up with Claire who I hadn’t seen for 2 years, and her partner Sam. Both work in the mine as mining engineers but are looking to move on in the near future… not the worst place to live though.. isolated but tolerable!!

Next it was onto Coober Pedy….
