Itinerary
Explore the
Outback travelling the legendary Oodnadatta Track!
Day 1 -
Adelaide to Flinders Ranges
From Adelaide, our way north weaves through the hillside vineyards
of the Clare Valley plus a string of classic country towns
with the chance to sample wines at one or two top wineries.
Enjoy expansive views of the Flinders Ranges as we approach
Wilpena Pound, one of Australia's most magnificent natural
features and our campsite for tonight. (LD)
Day 2 -
Wilpena Pound
At Wilpena Pound you have your first chance for spectacular
walks and challenging climbs. The views are breathtaking.
After lunch, dirt roads take us through the heart of the Ranges
to the historic copper mines of Blinman and our night stop
at Angorichina. Cool off in the nearby waterhole and stay
in bunkhouse style accommodation. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Oodnadatta Track to William Creek
Breakout from the Ranges through Parachilna Gorge with the
option to cycle the Gorge. Copley Bakery is the last cappuccino
opportunity for 300kms. Drive by Leigh Creek coalmines, visit
Outback eccentric Talc Alf (he's usually in), leave the bitumen
at Lyndhurst, see the Aboriginal ochre pits and stop for lunch
beside Marree's Old Ghan rail station and nearby Arabunna
Aboriginal Cultural Centre. The Oodnadatta Track follows the
dusty trail of the Overland Telegraph, camel caravans and
the old Ghan railway to Lake Eyre and the fascinating thermal
mound springs. We camp in swags within stumbling distance
of William Creek Pub. (BLD)
Day 4 -
Oodnadatta Track to Coober Pedy
Desert landscapes of red dunes, salt pans and gibber plains
feature on the morning drive to Coober Pedy. Lake Cadibarrawirracanna
can be a refreshing short detour. Just beyond the Dog Fence,
the mining moonscape takes over. We'll show you about Coober
Pedy - underground house, mine tour, opal cutting, an underground
church - and still give you time to explore and 'noodle' (fossick)
for opals. Underground bunkhouse accommodation is our 'digs'
for tonight. (BLD)
Day 5 -
Coober Pedy to Uluru
Roam the colourful Breakaways site of Mad Max III before devouring
700kms of hot black bitumen on the Stuart and Lasseter Highways,
via Marla and Erldunda to Uluru. By special invitation, we
may go off-highway onto the 'AP Lands' to call in at Iwantja
Aboriginal Arts Centre. Going north the vegetation increases
- even the Northern Territory looks like the botanic gardens
compared to Outback South Australia! Arrive at our campground
in time for sunset views of the Rock. (BLD)
Days 6
& 7 - Uluru & Kata Tjuta Time is on our side
Two nights makes a big difference: double chances fur sunsets
and sunrises; more time for walks and more flexibility in
hot weather. As well as plenty of time for Uluru walks and
the Aboriginal Cultural Centre, there is time to do the Valley
of the Winds walk (we guide) at Kata Tjuta. Free time can
be used for local indigenous tours, air flights, a swim in
the pool - or other refreshments. The drive towards Kings
Canyon takes 3.5 hours and we camp near Kings Canyon. Option
to swag tonight. (BLD)
Day 8 -
Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Another big morning hike tackles Kings Canyon. On the Rim
Walk you'll see the sandstone domes of the Lost City, Garden
of Eden pool and take in the views along the walls of the
Canyon. Carefully! The afternoon travels on to Alice Springs,
set amidst the MacDonnell Ranges, arriving about 6.00pm. (BL)
