Solitaire is a small settlement at the T-junction of the C14 and
C19 gravel roads. Nevertheless, a welcome place for a stop over
when journeying across the desert. There's puncture and mechanical
repair facilities and a limited stock of tyres. The fuel station
is manned daylight hours and the provisions shop opens until quite
late. It's here that you might catch a glimpse of Big-Moose who
bakes the 'Moose Bread' and the renowned
apple crumble.
Don't expect any hyper-activity here, it's not a place where you
would want to allow your blood pressure to rise too.. high. Just
relax and wait your turn.

Solitaire quick history: Christoffel van Coller
built a small cottage near to the gravel road junction in 1948.
Being so remote his good wife, Elsie, named the place Solitaire.
In later years, a small shop and fuel facilities were added and
the settlement grew. Solitaire
gained an amount of interest following the publication of the book
by Dutch author Ton van der Lee. He seems to have conveyed the remoteness
quite effectively as many tourists who have read the book have been
'inspired' to make the pilgrimage to this remote outpost. |
