20 July – Chambers Pillar

After 150Kms of corrugated and flooded sections of road we reached Chambers Pillar, a sandstone thing sticking out of the desert. The highlight of the trip seemed to be the medium bags of chips we purchased at Mary Vale station general store – the bags were huge and we are now chipped out for the rest of the week.

Ok, Chambers Pillar was good but, after a short visit we went back to the general store to get ice creams. The countryside was nice; decorated with regular sprinklings of green cans and burnt out cars. We can only guess a burnt out car is worth more than a broken down car and dumps of green cans are where people break down or get bogged for a time.
