Mackenzie : Today we took Bentley for a walk around the caravan park and then we got in the car and drove to a place called Kulgera and got a dim sim. Then we crossed the Northern Territory border and drove the rest of the day. We got to Marla and set up and Fletcher and I played a ball game.
Today we were all woken by the amazing sounds of dingos howling. It was before 6am and we were all awake laying there saying can you hear that, Bentley was confused but not growling, we were loving it, now we feel like we are in the outback. We packed up but not in a hurry, people travelling have said to us 2 days is enough here but we have had 3 nights and although we have seen the important things we really like Yulara and could stay longer. Today was mainly driving as we headed towards Marla. We stopped at Kulgera which is the 1st and last hotel/stop on the Northern Territory, they had great picnic tables in a grassy area so we stopped and ate our lunch. We stopped at the border and took some photos and did the normal "I'm in the Territory" " I'm in South Australia" and back and forward we went and stood half and half. The kids found a set of teeth, 2nd time this has happened to us, hmmmm is there money to be made in dealing in 2nd hand teeth? The kids are looking for a get rich quick scheme, this may be it! We set up at Marla, which was originally an area where they sunk a bore, Marla Bore and was a truck stop. In 1982 they built what is in Marla now, Commonwealth Bank, restaurant, pub, supermarket, gallery & post office and it was officially declared a town. There is drive through sites, a pool, clean & locked toilet block and enough rooms to house a few football teams. A great little stop that had absolutely everything.
