  1. Glendambo, a small roadside car/truck stop for fuel travelling inland SA between Port Augusta and Coober Pedy (opal mining) It is a series of fuel browsers, a small shop and bar a number of Motel rooms, a caravan park . Placed optimally to suit range of car fuel capacity, several hundred km form other fuel. So is a needed stop for cars that need fuel a quick rest stop, and food. A few trucks too fueled up while getting food and rest and the odd cold drink at the bar. Overnight rest for weary travellers. Not much there. Dry desert scrub sand, dust, flies, the odd snake or two, lizards, scorpions, some wallabies, cockatoos. Most people see few of all that life I actually went looking for such in some spare time. I spent a week there in 1986, car hot testing north and south on the open highway. We had Halleys Comet up great view in the dark sky conditions. Covered large sky area with comet tail, while back in the city (Melbourne) it was a tiny single dull patch of core only. Glendambo hotel had a single 40W globe on all night out front and occasional trucks and very few cars with hesdlights/driving light high beam, zipped by on the highwsy located several hundred meters away, as Glendambo is a graded loop of road away from actual highway. This place is midway, no other lights from Port Augusta to Coober Pedy so delightfully dark sky for Astronomy enthusiasts like myself. So wildlife and astronomy were great pleasures for me on top of grest csr testing work in 44 to 46 °C in the shade conditions of course we were mostly out under the sun. At the time there would have been maybe 10 permanent staff there. Did not actually see any sheep.
