Birdsville & Oodnadatta Tracks & Dig Tree
A journey along the Birdsville Track, Oodnadatta Track, Planet Arrabury Road and the Dig Tree is a true outback adventure travelling through Australia’s most iconic and remote landscapes. This route connects historic trails that once guided drovers, explorers and early settlers across the vast arid plains. The Birdsville Track offers rugged beauty, leading to the tiny town of Birdsville and its famous pub. The Oodnadatta Track passes ancient Aboriginal sites, surreal salt lakes and relics from the old Ghan railway. Travelling along Planet Arrabury Road takes you through spectacular red desert scenery ending at the Dig Tree, a significant site in Australian history marking the story of explorers Burke and Wills. This journey is ideal for seasoned outback travellers ready to tackle dirt tracks and embrace the solitude and spirit of Australia’s legendary outback routes.
