O

Time Out: Coward Springs

A whole lot of nothing much: Lake Eyre

Crazy place: William Creek Hotel

Hear the whispers of history: Old Ghan ruins

Just one of those 'must dos': PRO

O is for Oodnadatta Track! We had lots of fun 'living the dream' by clocking up some 600k on this historic journey. It mostly follows the path of the Old Ghan Railway which used to connect Adelaide to Alice Springs. Fascinating ruins and bridges and stories along the way. Some other highlights were:

- a dip in the artesian spring at Coward Springs....bubbling, coolish and a welcome respite from the flies!

- seeing both Lake Eyres...the north and the south. No water in either where we could get to, but flights from William Ck are booked out as people head further north for a view of the water form QLD flowing into LE Nth.

- the most unusual 'insides' of William Creek pub....everyone who visits leaves something behind. So the walls and roof are covered in clothing, signatures, photos, underwear, pictures, business cards and almost anything else you could think of.

- dropping in to the Pink Roadhouse in Oodnadatta....their grocery store has to be one of the most unique and expensive in Australia!
