goodday john
how are you going
we head off for 3 weeks in 2 weeks and i thought about going up the
oodnadatta and cutting across to the highway via
painted desert we went thru there about 5 years ago and denny loved it. we will be just mooching about this year because we are going on a cruise on sept 1 for 7 nights ,have never been on a cruise so something different and the price was pretty good
still working on the skype i have tried a couple of ways to get in touch but it says it doesnt recognise the address/name but will keep working on it

if you MM me the email address you are using and the name you are using I should be able to find you. I found I could find me on the surname in Australia quite easily. Just make sure you can spell it correctly though.

Hi Gob & Denny, I've just driven that road last week and it's good to drive on and very dusty. We stayed in
Arckaringa Homestead for a couple of days and did a quick drive to
Cadney Park Roadhouse for some ice cream YUM

Yes you can get a permit at the
police station in
Marla , as far as I know they still only cost $5 , that permits you to go to the
Mintabie Precious Stones lease , and only there , by the 33 k's road . We have sold up and left about 2 years ago , but things are probably still the same :)
