If any. When we were there a young couple were camping out that was and had sheared of the trailer spring carrier. he went to ask if it could be welded and the bloke said he was to busy to help and took off down the road, they were devastated. Anyway, we fixed it for them and all good but what bad form

The remoteness of this track has also been down graded. All jokes aside I overtook an ss commodore and a falcon towing an on road caravan just south of Oodnadatta. Heaps of subarus. The track appears to be a common root for the family sedan.

I went to the general store down the road, much more friendly there, price for fuel was the same also.
