A few hours North of Kingston, Adelaide bound, we came upon a dirt track loop road off the main drag. Not adhering to any particular agenda recently, we decided to take it and happened upon a nice little spot in the middle of the Aussie bush by an inland salt lake, where we decided to camp the night. By camp I mean the whole hog, campfire an' all.

| Dinner on the fire |
Luke gathered up our kindling and wood supplies and we started a fire C. Dundee style. We wrapped sweet potatoes in tin foil and shoved them in the fire (burrowed from Habitat HQ's free food shelf), mixed beans and tuna in a pan and cooked them on the embers and finished with a creamy rice pudding on the last of the heat! We really enjoyed our 'into the wild' experience and found nature to be delightfully accommodating (hidden meaning for personal future reference).
Most importantly and my main reason for dedicating an entire blog entry to one day, was what we experienced when the sun went in, for, positioned in between nowhere and somewhere else, we witnessed the most amazing night sky. Never before have I seen so many billions of stars shining so brightly. Luke and I felt so small and insignificant in comparison. Unfortunately, as with so many other wonders, a mere camera couldn't possibly capture what we saw that night so - you'll have to take my word for it!
On the way back onto the main drag we saw a kangaroo jump in front of the van and witnessed the crossing of a large dragon-like lizzard which we have yet to look up but loved seeing as we felt like we truly were in the bush.
