From Arltunga we had two options; heading back the same way to Alice or follow Binns Track (a 4wd track) a bit more north. We chose the second option and it turned out to be a really nice and do-able track. Again it gave us a real feel of the true outback.
The drive also involved a lot of getting in and out the car for Monique as she had to open and close the gates that prevented stock escaping their farmers properties, but also indicated when we entered aboriginal land. And there were lots of gates we found out!
The track took us to the Plenty Highway where we had a walk around Gemtree Station.
From there it was back to Stuart Highway where we had to start thinking of our next camping spot. Eventually we decided to drive all the way to the Devils Marbles as we calculated we could just be there before sunset. It meant that for the first time we drove faster then our normal 80 kph.
The campsite at the Devils Marbles was gorgeous and not as crowded as we expected. We walked around these amazing round rock boulders until the sun went down completely and enjoyed the rest of our evening watching the stars.
