Kings Canyon to Marla.
Our group broke up this morning, Katie and Geoff heading north on the Mereenie Loop to Alice Springs to visit a friend, The rest of us to our various homes, at varying speeds and in various directions.
I shall miss their company, Katie and Geoff’s new trailer was brilliant but also has plenty of scope for modification.
Andrew’s new tent seemed spacious and he has a great set up especially designed for free camping.
Dale had a swag on a stretcher another really good idea especially for free camping (I was sure I took a picture but I am blowed if I can find it), you can just see his car and swag in the background of the above photo. They are all so well set up.
We have decided to put in long driving stints to try to be home by the weekend, hence today’s long distance drive to Marla.
Marla Roadhouse is OK if a bit of a higgledy piggledy layout, we thought Andrew might be there but he had gone further on.
We intend to try to make it to Woomera tomorrow, by-passing Coober Pedy.
