Arkaroola to Marree

We left Arkaroola and drove on a very rough windy road over the Gammon Ranges,with lots of flood ways and creek crossings, most of which were dry. A couple of puddles here and there. We arrived in Copley and Brought lunch (pies) from the Copley bakery. We then drove about 6kms south to Leigh Creek where we stopped at Foodland to purchase some supplies. Our destination for the day - Marree.
Along the way we stopped at the Farina ruins. Farina was once a town but now all that is left is the station. However the ruins are slowly being partially restored and maintained by volunteers who spend time replacing stone. There is however an operating bakery there. The bread is baked in the restored underground oven. We purchased some lovely sourdough bread and slices after making our way around the ruins which we can see are laid out in the town grid.
By about 4pm we made it to Marree. It was very underwhelming and there was a lot less of a town than we expected. However the caravan park was good although water pressure was non existent. Just a trickle for a shower.
A lot of dust to clean out of the vanRead more
