Marla is a small, remote outback settlement located in the far north of South Australia, approximately 190 kilometers south of the Northern Territory border. As part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, Marla serves as a key service stop for travelers along the Stuart Highway, offering essential amenities such as a roadhouse, fuel station, and campground. The area is characterized by its arid desert landscape, rich Indigenous culture, and proximity to iconic landmarks like the Oodnadatta Track and the Great Victoria Desert. Marla's population is small, primarily supporting local Indigenous communities and transitory visitors, making it a quiet yet significant outpost in Australia's vast interior.
