The remote town of Marla is located on the Stuart Highway near the geographical centre of Australia. This quaint area in the middle of the South Australian Outback is one of the most isolated stops on The Ghan, Australia’s historic north to south railway line. Located 400 kilometres from Alice Springs and 200 kilometres from both Oodnadatta and Coober Pedy, it makes a popular choice for those attempting driving tours of Australia’s interior, such as the Oodnadatta Track. Marla boasts motel-style accommodation, well-maintained camping facilities, a well-stocked supermarket, and offers visitors a unique 4x4 route – via the 160-kilometre Anna Creek Station Track – to the scenic spot of Lake Eyre.
