The notorious pink road house at Oodnadatta.

As the end of the line Oodnadatta qualified for a full blown railway station.

When the trains stopped coming most of the town died. The Transcontinental Hotel is closed again. Judging by the tourist traffic when we were here it is hard to see there being enough to support both the road house and a pub.

No pictures the night we were in town.

So there is not much at Marla. It is unfair to say it is just a service station on the Stuart Highway but there isn't much more to the town. Here we are in the cheap seats at the Caravan Park behind said servo.

There isn't too much to see between Oodnadatta and Marla but we can say we have done the complete Oodnadatta track from Maree all the way to Marla.

Now pump the tyres up a bit for some bitumen driving.
