Monday, was the day we departed Kings Canyon Resort for our destination of Erldunda which is on the corner of the Stuart and Lasseter Highways.
The awning had to be dismantled but we seem to be getting better and quicker at getting it packed away. As we left the Resort we said farewell to several couples that were up and about but 0800. We opted to get away early so as to relax when we arrived.
As we travelled this morning, we endured showers and strong headwinds, in the desert. Our travel went for an hour and then I did a stop not only to stretch the legs but most importantly to check everything was fine with the Bravo and KK. Eventually we reached the Lasseter Highway and turned left. About an hour later, we stopped for a break at Mount Ebenezer Roadhouse. As we arrived quite a few cars doing the Variety Club Bash departed for Uluru. There was a coach preparing for departure for the same destination. So the Roadhouse became quieter.
Not long after, we also moved along with under an hour to go to Erldunda Roadhouse or the Desert Oak Resort. On arrival, I refuelled while Prue booked in for the overnight stop. The KK was set up and on power so we can use everything.
Lunch was the priority and while doing that we checked our emails and other news items. After lunch, we went to the Tavern to have a coffee where we met up again and chatted with Denis and Merilyn who had been beside us at Ayers Rock. We had dinner with them later on.
During the afternoon numerous familiar faces and caravans pulled in with us. All remarked on the changed weather from hot several days ago to quite cold today.
Prior to dinner, we had our usual red wine. Dinner was in the Tavern with David and Merilyn. Again we chatted over the meal. After the meal, we had coffee or hot chocolate and were joined by the Frank “Chookman” Turton He had been involved in a documentary in Kings Canyon earlier in the day. He has lots of plans as well as some good yarns. 
So ended the day.
We may not have Internet coverage again for a few days as we are leaving Erldunda for Hermannsburg, Ormiston Gorge, etc., today.
