DAY FIVE
The next day, we were back on the Ooandatta track, NW - headed for a small town called Marla. This trip took over 200km and provided spectacular scenery - driving parallel to The Painted Desert and Pedirka.
Once we reached the infamous "Welcome to NT" sign on the Stuart HWY, we realised we were making good time and decided to visit Alice Springs. After lunch we headed back south west on our way to Curtin Springs. However, we decided to make a detour to visit at the Henbury rest stop where we stopped to view the Henbury Meteorite Craters. After a 1.5km walk around the crater, we continued along the Ernest Giles Road - which is around 80kms of corrugated sections and then sandy track.
The roads turned to bitumen after the turn off south towards Angus Downs through Liddle Hills, which then leads to the Lassiter HWY - passing Mount Conner - the rock tourist think is Uluru - on our way to Curtin Springs.
