We've had no access to internet until today when we bought a Telstra gizmo and cheap Telstra mobile phone. There's a few entries to add to blog.
We woke up to a fine, crisp morning after a chilly night although it was very cosy in the van. The road through the centre doesn’t have many bends and much of the vegetation looks the same for kilometre after kilometre.
It didn’t take too long for me to nod off again but at least Robert had the radio to keep him entertained. Our new whiz-bang super-dooper aerial is great and this is a toy we both wanted.
Good time was made although checking our fuel consumption for a couple of days has resulted in reducing speed from 90 kph to 85 kph. It may seem penny-pinching but it will save us $10 and only add 30 mins to the trip per day. It all adds up.
Marla CP is an oasis in the middle of nowhere. You can select any available site you like and park on the dirt track with the van door facing a grassed area so that tables, chairs, etc can be placed on grass. There are a few tall trees to provide some shade but we weren’t fussed about that as we were only stopping overnight.
The amenities are tired and stained by the bore water. I’m glad I didn’t wash my hair; it was hard enough to shower. No TV or connection to internet here. We don’t mind not having the TV and the occasional computer-free night is also a novelty.
