The horizon became a familiar site in the outback with no hills or bends to obscure it from us. Driving at dusk was a cautious affair, kangaroos tend to be more active this time of day so one eye was always on the side of the road, making sure one wasn't about to jump out and write off the car, there were plenty of fresh carcasses to demonstrate how often this happened. This was made especially tricky on route to Cober Pedy as we found ourselves driving west into the setting sun, this meant we could scarcely see the road, let alone any wildlife, luckily oncoming traffic wasn't an issue. The rough, corrugated road surface virtually cancelled out any sound other than the deafening rumbling of the car.
