Day 13: Flinders Ranges to Marree

Another day on the move. Today we are headed to the start of the Oodnadatta Track at Marree. Along the way we stopped at Nipena Ediacara National Park entrance for a road side lunch and fossicking for cool looking rocks. Next stop was at the Orche Pits, which were beautiful outcrops of red, yellow, white, and orange orche deposits. Our last stop of the day was at the ghost town of Farina, where a group of volunteers come for 8 weeks every year. They work on rebuilding the old town and running an underground bakery oven to supply the cafe next door with bread. We lucked out and were there while the bakery was running.

We rolled into Marree late afternoon, found a campsite, and wandered around town until sunset.
