Thread: Anyone stayed at Marla?

Not much help re your situation Justin but we stayed in a Donga at Mintabie (about 40k's west of Marla) quite a few years ago now. The daughter of a friend was the nurse there and was the only female in the mining community of about 150. Was a very interesting place and we witnessed a magnificent sunrise the following morning.
Can't even remember what Marla was like then.
Hope you find somewhere suitable and have a good trip.

The Museum should still be open as seems the volunteers are running it till a manager can be appointed.

Graeme you do realise that our phone conversation has precipitated my planning this adventure, Dont you? 🤣🤣

I wondered if that had happened although you must have already had a yearning to get back there. Does this mean that I don't have to take pictures?

I have stayed at pretty much all of the available places between Adelaide and Alice over the years. None were particularly bad that I recall. It really depneds on where you want to be / how many km you want to drive in a day. We did Adelaide to Alice in a single day with a 2 year old and 3 year old.

It's pretty basic mate, stayed there two years ago, but that's all I needed.
I just wanted a shower and some power to plug the 'puter in.
