100_mile_desert_oak this famous desert oak marks the 100 miles from Sandy blight junction near Kintore on the said road. Marked and built by Len Beadell in the early 1960s, the plate was stolen in the 90s. I have sent a copy to Beadell&#039;s widow because it is one of the few shots with the plate intact.<br />
For Ferdie :)<br />

  1. "If you get bogged, don't panic. Sit down, have a cold one and look at it calmly"

    My kind of advise :) Seriously though, this is not my cup of tea, I know too little of cars.

''Allocasuarina decaisneana'' or desert oak is an attractive, medium-sized, slow-growing tree found in the dry desert regions of the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. Young trees have a narrow trunk and grey/green feathery foliage. They mature to an adult form with spreading limbs and bushy foliage. It is the only member of its family in Central Australia and its large cylindrical cones are the biggest in its family. Fire does not usually kill the tree .
