Underground dugout at the Comfort Inn in Coober Pedy. If you ever wanted to have the Tatooine experience, this is it. Surprisingly cozy. #LifeAtExpedia
From Alice Springs head south along Maryvale road to Titjikala, then follow the signs down a long (43km) dirt track to some interesting rock "pillars". Definitely worth a look. #hiking
Blackall is a remote, rural town in central western Queensland. Located just 200km from Longreach, this town has so much to see. Make sure you stop and take in the various artworks scattered around and say hello to the friendly locals.
