Hi All... (I've taken over his blog and forum!)

We're seriously into the planning stages of the first leg of our "big lap" and we've decided Melbourne to Coober Pedy is our first leg with an over night stop along the way, so far we've narrowed down Port Wakefield. This leg will take about 9 hrs 26 mins (not including all the rest stops) The Bloke (aka Rob) says I should come onto HIS forum and ask everyone if they have better suggestions.

Also we're planning the second day Port Wakefield to Coober Pedy 7 Hrs and 18 minutes. Once there we'll sit and drop for a few days. So now comes the part where I ask for suggestions.

Coober Pedy Accommodation? I'm thinking Riba's underground simply because the first night is free when you do the tour (has anyone done and can recomend the tour?)

Plus what else is there that YOU think we should see, knowing we have a 10 yr old in tow and want to make it Kid fun and friendly as well. We've never been anywhere up this way so anyone who has please let us know your thoughts. Espeically any that were bad! save me from making some mistakes!!
thanks for reading
Kim
