So once again it's not the right time to visit Coober Pedy - they'll all be in their wellies down there...
I'll make it one day.
America, Kenya, Kerala and New Zealand are first, sorry.
But I do keep entering competitions for holidays to Aus, especially any which involve the Indian Pacific railway, or The Ghan.
Platinum Service, yes please. Okay I'm not likely to meet a lonely miner or rancher travelling that way, but being rich enough to afford it would be its own consolation
