Oodnadatta Track

We are leaving our camper trailer friends at Farina and heading across the famous Oodnadatta Track to William Creek. We’ll be camping at Arckaringa Station for a few nights and having an explore around the Breakaways and the painted Desert. Then it’s on to Coober Pedy. We are then going to check out Woomera and explore around the town and look at all of the leftovers from the rocket range days and then it’son to Roxby Downs. Silverton is our next stop for a few nights and we’ll visit Broken Hill for about the fifth time. Then unfortunately it will be time to head back home.

All up we plan on about 7,000kms and many of them will be on red dirt. We love red dirt. It’s going to be an awesome trip. Please follow us along!
