A quick stop at Lake Hart to stretch the legs and immerse yourself in the expanse of the salt plains before making your way towards Coober Pedy. Famous for opals, a stop here wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Old Timers Mine to learn about the history and try to find your own hidden gem! Spend the evening underground, as you settle in for the night.

Day 4: Coober Pedy to Watarrka/Kings canyon

Then we’ll cross the border from South Australia to the Northern Territory, known as the Top End. We’ll drive to Watarrka National Park, home to the famous Kings Canyon.
