PS as for the car it was george (??oldfield) car and apparently last trip was rabbit trapping in 60's... so Im told... Ill remember his correct name soon....its not oldfield, he only died recently...

Sure did Digger. Clayton wetlands were a regular oasis, plenty of greenery and birdlife. Mungerannie was a top litlle stop over. Good tucker, friendly and informative bar, beer wasn't too shabby either. Top camp spots down the back by the lagoon, a bit open to the wind up the top. All in all a real good place to stay. Would have stayed an extra night but wasn't to be. Harley gouge marks still in the floor with 'postie bike ' scratches next to 'em.

Here's a couple of pics.

Mungerannie Waterhole, Birdsville Track South Australia

Old truck at Mungerannie

Famous Truck Cab also at Mungerannie

For some reason generator in tree at Muloorina Waterhole. South Australia

Alternative transport, abandoned on the way to Lake Eyre. South Australia

The Dep of mines cleaned up a lot of the gullies and filled in a lot of shafts and I am told there are a lot more old wreaks buried during the clean up. There also used to be a gold/quartz crusher that was cut up for scrap near Smiths Gully, The Dam wall is the only thing left.

The locals I met during my 15 years of living there told of an amazing history, St Andrews used to be know as the Queenstown diggings. Some of the old wreaks belonged to people I have met and they all told a story.
A lot of history around that area, most of it sadly forgotten.
