Day 10 - Merna Mora 27/09/15

Today we went for a drive to Merna Mora.  Merna Mora is a historical trail which is located on a sheep station which has been owned by the same Fels family since 1889. This was another 4 wheel drive track which would take us the good part of a day. Along the historical trail we saw on the track was an old school & house which were last used in 1957. This settlement was located on the old Ghan line. Around the old buildings was lots of remants of a time gone by, old bike wheel and some other bits & pieces. There are also a couple of intact railway tunnels from the Ghan.

The track continued along some quite tricky 4x4 tracks which Matt & Chloe loved! I on the other hand occasionally had a firm grip on the Jesus bar in the car & sometimes had my eyes closed, but the views on top of some of those mountains were well worth my anxiety.

After returning to camp for another casual afternoon & drinks it was decided those who wanted to were headed to the Wilpena Pound Bistro for dinner. 6 families headed off for a rowdy dinner with 12 adults and 13 kids it was never going to be a quiet affair but the food was great & it was really nice to not have to cook or do dishes.

Back to camp to sit around the fire with those who didn't join us & a relatively early night for another big day to be had tomorrow.
