Day 8 6/8/2009 Oodnadatta to Kulgera NT
Track very very rough in places - sharp rocks and in other places very sandy, corrugated with bull dust. We were glad to reach Marla today and get off the dirt and I think even the truck gave a sigh of relief.
Marla is the junction of the Stuart Highway and the Oodnadatta Track and consists of a Service Station complex of a pub, Post Office, supermarket and takeaway all in one.
We stayed at Marla for a while trying to update the blog page but the machine there would not allow uploading of files so we gave up. I did manage to catch up on emails and check the bank so all was not lost.
We travelled as far as Kulgera which was the first place we came to over the border of NT. Kulgera too was a small town with a Service Station, pub, restaurant and campground all in one. Camping was cheap only $11 and it was worth much more just for the hot shower.
We had tea, which was expensive for what you got, and a few ales at the pub.
Tomorrow we head for Ayres Rock.
