The Road Out

We left Innamincka and headed towards Lyndhurst, which is just over 500km via the Strzelecki Track. It took us well over 6 hours due to the rough tracks. The entire journey was on gravel and dirt roads filled with bull dust holes and corrugations, not to mention monster road trains kicking up dust.

Getting to Lyndhurst was a relief at first but when we stopped to pump up our tyres, we found a broken window on the Podd. Time was spent cleaning up glass bits and sealing it with the help of some rubber mat and duct tape.

We continued to push on to get as far south as possible in order to escape the heat. We finally decided to stop for the night at Fitzgerald Bay, past Port Augusta near Whyalla. We spent the first night falling asleep to the sound of waves hitting the shore. We are no longer in the Outback!
