Flinders Ranges to Maree



Left the Flinders Ranges today and on our way out we decided to check out the self-guided geology tour.  We made it part way only to find the road ahead was partially flooded and not passable for Falkor.  We turned back and headed north towards Leigh Creek and Marree.  The last few km into Marree it started raining consistently and we were unable to continue. We were forced to camped in the parking lot of the Marree Hotel for the night as all the rooms were booked.  It seems people with 4WD radioed ahead for their rooms.

The hotel was nothing to speak of, everyone staying there was over 50 except for the tour guides.  Pretty depressing place to get stuck considering we are unsure if we can get out tomorrow.  The road ahead and behind us are both sloppy wet.
