Marla Travellers
This petrol station was a stop quick heading north just to fill the tank and so glad I did as Christmas morning the next petrol station was closed (The Ghan)
So at the Marla station I got a full tank + a 20lt Gerry container full which pushed me all the way to Uluru,
On the home bound trip I stop past the Marla Travellers again for fuel but this time I grad a feed, while taking to the staff I mentioned I needed a shower! Well for a small price of $4 dollars you can used there facilities even if your not staying in any of the rooms which at night I didn't know they had rooms but I do now!
Prefect I would say as I sipped in for a shower after a great feed and yes the food was delicious and the serving was quite big!
The staff on Christmas eve was just 1 bloke working very friendly fellow and 7 days later heading home again the staff were extremely friendly helpful in the petrol station and wonderful staff in the restaurant/eateries
Toilet facilities available here and very tiny...

Read moreHad breakfast here as passing through. Had the hangover sandwich for $9, bit sad even for a remote area meal, bacon, cheese, sauce and potato scallop. Could of done with an egg to hit the BEC trifecta for that price, was nice an greasy as it sloshed around my abdomen for the next two hours. So ticked the box for hangovers. But for $9 could be done better.
Son had the made sausage roll, cack! Don't bother, get one out of plastic bag from the baine marie if you can.
Daughter had the potato scallops, they were as expected as she is no epicurean.
Otherwise place was fairly clean and tidy, some plates not yet collected on tables. Toilets were as expected for what it is.
Having travelled a bit for work up Cape York, Cape leveque, Kimberley, alice and NT community areas, important to get the toasties spot on at 9-10am, was bit of a let down too see no ready to go BEC toasties in a roadhouse/servo on a highway in the sin bin with cheese kabanas and pies, dim sums etc.
