A very insightful tour of the hardships and lonelyness of this posting in the 1800's. The supplies came every six months by camel train. Vegies were grown on sight as well as meat.

Reviewed By Xanerin - Alice Springs, Australia
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the mini devils marbles and it is a very special place for the aboriginal people. Drive is on a little bit of dirt but definitely do not need 4wd as we did it in our mobile home. Lovely place for a picnic. Toilets be it long drops, are available but take your own paper just in case.
