Banka Banka

Goodbye Alice Springs and hello Banka Banka. We drove 7 hours to the Banka Banka Homestead which was referred to us by a friend. Along the way we stopped at the famous Wycliffe Wells, known as Australia’s UFO capital! It was ummm interesting! We also stopped to have a look at Devil’s Marbles. These fabulous rock formations made for some fun photos. It’s a fabulous place to stay not just because it’s only $20 a night for the family but because it has the best spring water we have ever tasted and kids get a free icy-pole upon arrival. Although surrounded by friendly grey nomads it was a different experience for us. Country music played by the communal fire at night was a lovely way to wind down after a long day of driving. We finally had a good nights sleep here.

TIP: Banka Banka homestead is on the Stuart highway and has grassy unpowered sites, very clean facilities and hot showers. The owners are very friendly and we would recommend this place to anyone who likes bush camping with a few extra perks.Oh and maybe just stop for a few minutes to see Whycliffe if you believe in UFO's but Devil's Marbles are fabulous.
