Unusual for us, we were all packed the night before so it was just a case of getting out of bed, shower, breakfast and in the car ready to go. Given all this we managed to get away from home 8 minutes later than I wanted at 9:38 am which is unheard of for our family.
With all the roadwork’s going on north of Adelaide, it took a while to finally get through to around Roseworthy. After that it was just a matter of stopping occasionally for fuel and food and keep going til we got to Marree.
We only stopped a couple of times for Geocaches as the plan was to grab them on the way home.
We managed to get to Marree around 5:00 pm with 3 options to stay. We looked at the Marree Hotel for a cabin but none available until September, same story at the Marree Drovers Rest Tourist Park and Oasis Town Centre Motel & Caravan Park. So we ended up choosing the Oasis to pitch the tents.
A walk down to the Hotel for tea and then back to the Caravan Park to the Fire Pit to meet fellow travellers and chat until late. Once in bed, the locals in the streets made sure that we wouldnt get to sleep too early but eventually they relented as well.
Caches for the day:
