Tues – 17th – It was a cold night, we woke to a bit of a frost. We met a really nice young family from Victoria who travelled from Vic to Darwin and are heading back home over taking 4 weeks all up. They have covered a lot of ground.
We stopped at Mt Dutton ruins before doing the last leg to Oodnadatta and the pink roadhouse. Most of the ruins have the same design they are just in different stages of decay.
Fuel was a tad cheaper at the Pink Roadhouse at $2.21 but it was days since we were at William Creek so it might be cheaper than it was too.
We bought 1 hour of wifi for $6 to connect back home and upload some posts as there is no Telstra here.
We left the Oodnadatta track about 17kms from Oodnadatta and took the road to Hamilton and Dalhousie Springs 163kms. The roadhouse said the last 80kms was pretty rough. We have seen 3 broken windscreens on the side of the road since we have been on the Oodnadatta track. This road is corrugated and very very dusty, bull dust in places.
Fogartys Clay pan.
We stopped at Pedirka Ruins about 58kms from Dalhousie. The building was like dorm style accommodation. Was nice and quiet, we were there alone camped in the middle of nowhere again.
