When you’re halfway into the 700-kilometre drive through the South Australian outback from the Flinders Ranges to Coober Pedy, it’s pretty obvious that “I Spy” isn’t going to cut it.Trucks and road trains in Coober Pedy.The rules of the game are pretty simple. Everyone has to guess what the next vehicle coming the other way will be. If you correctly guess a car, it’s one point. But it’s two points for a correctly guessed caravan and three for a road train.
Different settings deserve different boredom-busters. On rural drives, for example, there’s nothing like a good game of Cow v Sheep. This divides the car into two, looking for wildlife on either side. If the next animal seen on the left is better than the next animal seen on the right, then the passenger side wins. Obviously, a cow beats a sheep, you need at least a horse to beat a cow, and everyone is very annoyed when they see a pigeon.Sometimes, these sorts of games take on a new life.
