If in school hols, Dalhousie will be chockers, but is the place to relax in the
thermal spring. Purnie is quieter but no swimming. Fuel is
Birdsville, Mt.Dare, Oodna. Best water at
Birdsville.

Take your
drinking water with you from
home or buy purified or spring water in 4 litre bottles/casks. It is not a huge expense and you will be able to drink it, desert
bore water is mostly drinkable but tastes like **** Can not even make good cup of tea with it. Dalhousie sring water is millions of years old and prehistoric little fish fornicate in it !
