Well its been a hectic day. Up at 4.30am and arrived in Adelaide at 7.30am local time. We met at a pre-arranged hotel carpark for a meet and greet Left-right: Bren, our driver George, David and myself - we seem to all hit it off pretty well. We headed off from Adelaide and stopped off at Port Augusta (a very scenic town) and finaly arrived in Woomerra around 5pm. A pleasa
nt trip with lots of interesting banter and words of wisdom from George. It was interesting to find out that if you drove past a herd of emus and managed to grab one by the scruff of the neck that you need to make sure the rear end of the emu is facing away from the car as they tend to lose control of their bowels quite easily - lets hope we don't need to test this theory. We saw quite a few emus along the way but they were thankfully out of grabbing range! George turns out to be quite the cook with the very sumptious stew that he cooked up for dinner - he said that it could be Camel stew but we all thought it tasted like chicken. An early start tomorrow as we head off to Coober Pedy and our first real days work.

Don't get too used to the sightseeing, you've got work to do remember!
