The desert was as inhospitable as any on earth, and vast, covering most of the planet’s main landmass. The people who lived there were nomads, travelling endlessly in search of food and water, criss-crossing the barren waste, but instead of camels or some other beast of burden, their caravans were comprised of solar-powered vehicles, part tank, part robot, and part motorhome.

 
They travelled by daylight, made camp as the sun set, and congregated beneath the night sky to sing songs and tell stories.
 

Sitting around the campfire, Rose listened as Jack and the Doctor regaled their audience with tall tales.

That sounds rather delightful, unless they can't find food or water, of course.

They find what they need to survive, I expect, it just means they have to keep travelling.

Thank you!
