We had gotten a couple of Queensland border passes while in Innamincka so unlike these people we were able to go into Queensland to visit the store. Still the only person at the store was keeping fit walking back and forth to the fence filling peoples orders.

The Post.

Ann checking that she wasn't in New South Wales (Don't want to have to quarantine  here for 14 days)

Another overnight stop near these ruins.

I took the opportunity to have another go at creating an image at night. This is more that one image merged with software.

I was hoping to find one of these wells along the "track" We were lucky to stumble on this one just off the road.

It is complete with a stone tank to store the water drawn from the well.

Near the well are the ruins of this two room building.

Marree - home of he Lake Eyre Yacht Club.

Marree was interesting. It was pretty windy at Wilkowie Well and the wind kept gaining in strength and also started picking up dust. By the time we got it Lyndhurst it was a full on dust storm. The fuel consumption driving straight into the headwind to Marree was interesting. At Marree all we could do was get a powered site and sit inside the motorhome with the air condtioner on.

Fortunately overnight the wind did drop and the dust settled.

Yes the dust had settled - everywhere. Still we were able to catch up on our washing.

Farina is an abandoned township between Lyndhurst and Marree. It is a pity about the dust storm as it would have been good to have an explore.

This building started as the Transcontinental Hotel but had several other uses during its life

Through one of the windows of the hotel. If you look closely you can just see an old railway water tank in the distance. Farina was a rail head for the original Ghan railway.

There were a few spits of ran overnight but that was all and the road was fine. We were even comfortable getting off the road to have a look at Harry's ruins.
