We got an early start on Tuesday the 14th heading north on the Stuart Highway. Travelled through Cadney Homestead, Marla Rest Stop stopping on the the Border between South Australia and Northern Territory late in the afternoon. Very straight road with good scenery. Outback is quite unusual with much more vegetation and greener than usual or what we were expecting. We have been told by a number of people that this is much different than usual. We met up with a couple that Sandra and I had met on one of our weekends at Clarencetown before Christmas. What a small world. The rest stop was fairly basic but did have toilets and nice paved parking lot for caravans. This was simply an overnight stay on our way to Uluru which we are booked into starting June 17th.
We had an early night as it had been one of our longer travel days. There were many mice at the rest stop much to everyone's disgust (especially Diane who hates them). The night was our coldest yet and definitely below zero as we had to scrape the windscreens in the morning. The tap at the toilets was also frozen solid. With no power we all packed quickly and got on the road early. Warmed up quickly in the cars as was a very sunny morning.
