So long to the Springs, Southward Ho....










We are back in the land of the technologically advanced, we have internet!!




We departed Alice Springs on Sunday morning, and made our way south. We saw a squadron of caravanners heading north and as much as it would be nice to chase the good weather……




Anyway, we continued south, over the border back into south Australia.    








We had heard various reports on the condition of the Oodnadatta Track, we checked the government web site (which basically says it’s a gravel road and you should be careful - who’d of thought?) We spoke with several travellers who had recently done the track. 



So we refuelled at Marla, then turned onto the Oodnadatta Track.








The plan is to have a couple of nights free camping along the track.





The track was in good condition, although the surface varied quite a bit.





We pulled up for the night about half way between Marla and Oodnadatta. 






It was a very secluded spot, off the road among the scrub. Camp fire, a few drinks, and a relaxed evening under the stars.
