Hi
Laura,
South of
Chambers Pillar South of Titjikala/Maryvale on the Ghan Road is a
nice camp at Alice
Well. It is through the dunes from Bundooma, a Ghan Railway
water point. At the Bundooma
water tank look 15 m north then head west for 1.5 kms to the banks of the Hugh River.
West of Finke, go out to the
Lambert Centre 23 kms west of Finke and 13kms north. Not a designated
camp site as such but folks
camp there.
People
camp at the
creek at Charlotte Waters but it ISNT a designated
camping spot and is part of the Charlotte Waters outstation of Finke.
Camping,
shop and pub at Mt Dare. Closest pub 250 kms west to
Kulgera, south 250kms to
Oodnadatta, 500kms east to
Birdsville. We moved to the new pub TODAY.
Camping $6.50 per person.
No
camping between Mt Dare and Dalhousie except at 3 o'çlock
creek just before Dalhousie. It is the firewood pickup centre for Dalhousie.
Dalhousie had 14mm rain yesterday with an unknown amount today.
If you come by say g'day.
Cheers

Happy travels
Laura
One other thought - we enjoyed a detour to Old
Andado a couple of years back - an hour or less from
Andado, and Molly is an interesting person and its interesting to see her house and the outbuildings.
Otherwise - Ian knows the area!

Hi Max,
Molly was actually down at Old
Andado last weekend, the first time in 18 months. It is always a good gig.
Lance and June are the caretakers this season and are good value. It is a pretty drive from Alice via Santa Teresa, Old
Andado to Mt Dare and Dalhousie. You can also access Old
Andado from New Crown. All grear country. Don't be afraid to say g'day at the various establishments rather than
bush camp.
Once again, cheers,
Ian@MtDare
