Kulgera

Wednesday 12th of May we set off for Kulgera. It was very interesting but extremely busy on the road – it seems everyone is going north. We spotted 14 cars abandoned on the side of the road or in the paddocks. Not much road kill, animals or birds. About 16 caravans overtook us today on their quest North. We crossed the South Australian border into the Northern Territory today and it was very exciting. The border is marked by a great stopping off point and also a 24 hour camping place. On one set of boards is all about South Australia whilst on the other set of boards it is all about the Northern Territory. The Kulgera Pub is the first hotel you come to in the Northern Territory when travelling North and conversely it is also the last hotel in the Northern Territory when travelling South. The amenities are clean and the water is hot – but you cannot drink the water without boiling it first. The park is very big and it almost ½ full at 4.30pm. There is a large rock to the North of the park and aboriginal folklore says that if you take your woman out to the rock and get her to sit on the rock she will become pregnant.
