Adventure Travel

The outback is full of adventure! Just after leaving Coober Pedy the sky to the west of us was still blue but the horizon changed to a red colour. A large cloud was rolling over the ground coming straight at us. Our first dust storm! I have never experienced anything like it. When the dust hit us the world turned a dark red colour, visibility was nearly nothing and the winds were enormous. Christel quickly found a place to pull off the road and she turned the bus to face into the wind. There we waited. After 10 minutes the worst of the dust was gone.  It was followed by an hour long spectacular lightning show. We had front row seats. Jack has windows all around and because you sit higher up in the bus the views are great. While the storm was blowing outside we prepared dinner (pizza from the oven) and settled down for the night. 

Very happy not to be camping out last night. This morning the sun came up again. Jack sustained no damage from the storm and we continue south bound to Port Augusta.
