Day 14 - Alpana to Arkaroola 01/10/15

This morning we said our goodbyes to Linda, Kristin & Tayla. They are now headed south to Adelaide where Kristen will head off on her new adventure. We will miss our travel buddies.
We headed off at 9.30 for a leisurely 209km drive to Arkaroola. The drive was very dusty with lots of emus to be seen.
Arkaroola makes me feel like we could be on Mars......it's very hot, not many trees & very dusty, but we are in the outback heading towards summer so what else whould we be expecting. I am currently getting desperate for some fresh produce & was quite excited to hear the "resort" has a shop which said it had fresh produce but the shipment had not arrived so no lettuce or tomatoes for me, Matt was safe for another day.
After setting up camp the kids were ready to have a swim, Tracy & I took the big kids to the freezing cold pool & met up with Caitie & the boys. Chloe, Ollie, Darcy & Jasper were the only brave ones to get in the pool & judging by the shivering every time they got out I was not tempted to get in.
Another beautiful sunset & night around the fire. Tomorrow we are heading off another 4x4 drive.
