In the remote reaches of South Australia lies a tiny outpost that serves as a vital pitstop for weary travellers. Marla, with its population barely reaching triple digits, offers a glimpse into the rugged beauty of the Outback. Surrounded by vast expanses of red earth and scrubland, it stands as a beacon of civilisation amidst the wilderness. Visitors can refuel both their vehicles and themselves at the roadhouse, exchange tales with locals, and marvel at the brilliant night sky unpolluted by city lights. While not a destination in itself, this place embodies the spirit of adventure that draws many to explore Australia’s untamed interior.
