I wonder why I cannot find any information on Molly Clark about the track from Old Andado to Allambi Station that she pioneered apparently driving a Holden Kingswood in the 70s. The track is now referred to as part of the Binns Track but I have not been able to find any mention of Molly Clark. Apparently Molly got tired of driving to The Alice via Finke and Kulgera to go shopping and knowing there was a track from Allambi via Santa Teresa to The Alice decided to try to find a way through the sandhills etc to Allambi. I remember reading somewhere that it took Molly one and a half days to get to Allambi. It is a shame that she has no recognition for the bush bashing that she would have done to be the first to pioneer the track. She would have been in her sixties when she did the drive. Maybe it was because she was a female she was overlooked. She was treated badly later on by government officials which cost her and the family Andado Station. Molly Clark must have been very strong to put with what she went through. Molly passed away last September and is buried on Old Andado Station. Shame on the government and powers that be for overlooking all her achievements.
