NT - Finke River Rest Area

This free camp area is 126 klms south of Alice Springs beside the river, or should we say beside the dry river bed.
Number 42 in the Hema maps.
We had a lovely night camping here with three other couples and lit a fire which was much needed as the temperature dropped to 6 degrees. Mike got up in the morning and re started the fire which was fantastic to wake up to.
There is a toilet block and two covered eating areas but as the rest area is beside the road the road trains feel like they are rolling right next to your bed.
