Leg 10 – Warrakurna to Mt Connor

21 July 2016

Another scenic drive today along the well maintained Mulga Park Road which meant we could scoot a long distance as camping on this road was not permitted.

 

Before long we were at Surveyor’s Corner, the meeting point of the Western Australian, Northern Territory and South Australian borders.


 
We passed many communities along the road as we ate up the kilometres. Artists had painted signs at the entrances to the towns.

The ranges through this area are spectacular and though they are low, they have the colours of the pencil case.

Some dips in the road held water from recent rain. I thought this one looked like a map of Australia. Fitting it was red on red.

 

Travelling on the road north to Mt Connor we crossed again into the Northern Territory late in the afternoon and camped a short distance past the grid that marked the border.

This large clump of spinifex was beside our camp on the Mulga Park Road.

 

Our camp on SA – NT border.

In the morning we continued up the road to approach Mt Connor from a different direction to that which we had passed on our way to Uluru.
