We got off to an early start and headed towards Coober Pedy, one off the hottest places in Australia! and also the biggest opal mine in the world. Sure enough about half way there a giant road train passes us as he was going over some gravel laid down right on the highway( still not sure why it was put there, very dangerous!) and he throw’s a bunch of gravel right at our van!!! So after we cleaned out our underwear(HAHA) we inspected the windsheild and there was chips all over it and one big crack on the passenger side! I took some pics of the gravel put on the road and of the wind shield because we were not sure if we would have to pay for it or not. We chose the max insurance cover but usually the front window is not covered and there was nothing in the paperwork we could see. We made it to Coober Pedy without any other issues and camped with a couple other vans in a rest stop by the highway. And that night we found out our screen windows had holes in them when we were attacked by the “mozzies” Australia Mosquitos!! And lets not forget about the very warm van that we would have to get used too!!!
