Had around 4 hours in Marree & based ourselves at the pub.
Started with an excellent coffee & muffin in the dining area which also houses a small display on Campbell & his land speed record.
Also has a dining room housing great tribute to Tom Kruse, the Birdsville postman. Great story.
Next dining room has story of John McDouall Stuart, an outback Explorer who was 1st south to north & back (& did a few more times investigating train & telegraph).
Plenty of accommodation options (inck campung out back), with a nice bar with memorabilia & souvenirs.
Marree has a small but interesting Railway Museum, Australia\'s 1st mosque, Lake Eyre yacht club & service station/shop. Other accommodation available in addition to pub.
Sadly we were a week early for the Marree Camel Cup. Marree is base for Birdsville & Oodnadatta tracks & has airport accessing Lake Eyre.
