Oodnadatta Track

This famous track is one of South Australia's five great drives. The track starts in Marree and ends in Marla with a total 615km. The basic route of the Oodnadatta Track was pioneered by Major P.E. Warburton and the famous Scottish explorer John McDouall Stuart who ultimately succeeded in crossing the continent from south to north and back again in 1862.

On the way make sure you stop to see the massive Lake Eyre. This lake is usually dry with a brilliant white salt crust and is explored better from the air on scenic flights from William Creek or Coober Pedy.

About 40km from Marree you will came across the Dog Fence - the longest fence in the world. The 5,300km Dog Fence separates the rich sheep-growing areas in the south from the dingoes of central Australia.

You also come across the Mound Springs. The fabulous mound springs of The Bubbler and Blanche Cup are fed from the Great Artesian Basin. The plants and waterbirds that support this unique environment are fascinating.
