This is the 9th installment of a serial called Letters From the Road that I have been writing about a road trip I took around Australia with my wife and two boys back in 2019. Each story is based on my journal entries from the trip. Those journal entries are included as quotes within the story.
This letter was first published over on Substack, where you can find many more letters if you’re fond of binging.
Today we’re in Coober Pedy, still in Coober Pedy I should say, since letter number 8 also came to you from Coober. We’re not happy to be here, but we’ve really got no choice in the matter.
