MARREE, LAST TOWNSHIP BEFORE THE BIRDSVILLE TRACK

Marree

Marree is the departure or endpoint for the Birdsville Track. It is also the starting point for the Oodnadatta Track.

Flights over Lake Eyre and the region may be booked inside the booking office of the Marree Hotel. Lake Eyre is Australia's largest salt lake. The normally dry salt lake has been holding water in recent years.

Accommodation in Marree was a few hundred metres from the Marree Hotel. The appearance of the multiple units were from the outside as of large windowless white cell blocks. None of the blocks had a window, not even the bathroom/shower. A phone alarm was set for a 6 am early rise to get on the road. However on waking, no power was available for lights or anything relying on electrical power. Dressing in complete darkness, with no windows and attempting a shower was a bit challenging. Power resumed after about twenty minutes, allowing for a more relaxed approach.


Marree Outback Roadhouse

The previous night Dinner was at the Marree Outback Roadhouse and General Store. Howard our tour operator highly recommended the Friday night dinner. Saying people come in from surrounding area's, in some cases driving quite long distances to eat at the Marree Outback Roadhouse on a Friday night for the roast. It did not disappoint. The hosts wheeled large meat platters out from the kitchen for all to indulge. A roast dinner choice of all you could eat and a selection from chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, and corned beef. Vegetables or salad. Followed by a dessert with fresh cream. Seconds were available to all. A great Outback meal enjoyed.
