Red Centre Tour Day 1 + 2

During the break, i went to the central of Australia. The journey was far, but is fun.
Day 1 (1 July 2008)
We started our journey by waking up at 4am and abroad the bus at 5am something. It is early but we have no choice. We spend our time on the bus anyway. We spent a night at Adelaide. We stayed in a bunkhouse and it is near the seashore. Before dinner, we took a walk by the seaside. Sea breeze was so refreshing and cold.

8 of us (include me, the photographer)

Day 2 (2 July 2008)

Again, we had to wake up early that day as we had a 12-hours road journey to reach our first destination, Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is a small town famous for its opal mine. It is like a desert to me where water is precious. We can't mandi sampai puas thanks to the cold weather and precious water. We visited the opal mine and watch how opal was cut. The mining tunnels were fun. However, this is the place where people worked hard to dig out the opal mine many years ago. They stay in underground houses inside the tunnel. It is just like your house and "office" is connected.

The small town is quite complete with facilities. From hospital to school, from church to bank (realise everything is singular??), it also have a pub where my angmoh friends will be very happy about it. Since my friend gang wasn't that keen with pub, we played with Justin camera with special effect. It was fun.

Woke up very early for Coober Pedy
