the last part of our sunset tour was to visit the dog fence. this fence runs across a large section of australia. it is designed to keep the dingos out of farming area.
the whole things is a massive undertaking, to get setup and also to maintain the fence.
looking out to the horizon following the fence in one direction.
and in the other direction.

beautiful sun set lighting and landscape

after the dog fence it was on to the moon plain. about 35 km out of coober pedy it is a fossil site. more info on that here. from here you can just see the breakaway rock formations on the horizon and watch the sun set behind them.
its called the moon plain because parts of it look like it is from another planet.
it was so nice to be out in the open, with the big sky above and nothing to see. i really enjoyed being out there and felt very free and at ease.
i definitely need to make time to get out into the open space and away from the city more often.
the sunset was beautiful
the wildflowers just starting to bloom in dusty red earth
the end of the tour.
the next day we left town early for the long drive home. it is the centenary of coober pedy and this sign was at the entrance to town.
i love how it was made from an old car bonnet. it perfectly describes the approach to life in the outback. make use of what is handy and adapt.
the more official coober pedy town sign we drove past on the way out of town. we had such a great time, winter was the perfect time to visit.
