Correct. We were at the Broome Adventure Cruises base from where we enjoyed a sunset cruise?/flight? by hovercraft across the bay to see dinosaur footprints..

Obviously, there were no ships there that day.

Your turn.

Correct your turn, that is coming in to land, the pub is on the right and the road going through the place is the Oodnadatta Track

 

 

 

I don't think I've heard of it. I could read the sign Coober Pedy 166, so just looked at a map and it was the the only town about that distance on the way to Lake Eyre.

That one had me puzzled as it, the airstrip, is not how I remembered. When we were there we camped in the pub camping ground which actually had two powered sites and was at the end of a dirt runway right next to the pub.

So I had a look at Google earth. It seems a new runway has been built since then. Remains of the old runway can still be made out. Looks like it is now a RFDS base. That's progress.

Yes I thought when I posted that photo you would not recognise it now, yes it is a base for the RFDS, one of there planes was there when we landed, there is a camp ground across from the pub.Was great to see it all from the air.
