Monday 27/7
Decided to go on the mail run, what a way to see the outback. Peter Rowe picked us up in his big 4WD mail van, we went off road, through some amazing sights, Gibber Plains, red sand hills, 120 million year old in land seabeds, Oodnadatta Track, Old Ghan Railway track, Mount Barry Station, Allandale Station, Peake Station, Nilpinna Station, Ana Creek Station, William Creek, The Dingo Fence ((longer than the Great Wall of China), The Algebuckina Bridge, stopped to photograph the beautiful wild flowers.
Guard dogs at Ana Creek Station, worlds biggest cattle station
Lunch gigantic burger Yum!!!
Got a good deal on the flight over Lake Eyre, Lake Eyre is Australia's lowest point 15.2m below sea level, then was picked up by The Mail Truck on another Station an hour later. This was on my bucket list, wanted to do it since I was a little girl....Pleased to say I didn't get scared, BUT 15 mins into the flight I was nauseas, then yes I started throwing up, LOL, didn't stop me snapping the camera though.........
Pilot smiled when he was doing his final check and saw Sam Bear buckled in, he asked if he was on the manifest. I said no, I smuggled him on LOL...
Islands with birds on them
arrived at The pink Roadhouse at 8.00pm. We also passed through the painted sands, but it was dark couldn't see them, was dropped off at the caravan park at 10.00pm

Pulled up at the supermarket bought some water, there was a dog under Athena, finally coaxed her out, she was very timid, an aboriginal girl yelled out to me to take her with me, I said no, she looked well fed, had a collar on, someone loves her,
