You posted on our blog you couldn't understand why we took those spikes. First of all they were not attached to the track. Do you think we could pull them out. Second, they were on a siding, not the main track. Third the locals promote you aking them, they suggest you fossick as they want the rubish cleaned up. That, apart from a few bits of rock and such was all we took in 22000K and 35,000 dollars worth of travel, not much to ask really that we have some thing to remind us of an epic trip. There is so much worse done out there. The number of sleepers getting used for fires in Coward Springs is another point and every year you have to go further and further away to get wood. The 3 spikes we good in Marree were also badly rusted and not worth taking home, the ones along the old Gahn were so much better preserved FYI. Mostly I agree with your coment about take nothing but photos, leave nothng but foot prints but there will be times you will ask yourselves this question as well as you travel.

Good luck
