The Oodnadatta Track is an easy, for the most part well graded gravel road. It's nothing for the 4WD thrill seeker since it can be negotiated in a conventional car. The main features along the Oodnadatta track are old railway buildings, bridges and telegraph stations. The track follows the Old Ghan railway line. If you're interest in pioneering history you will not be disappointed. The nature is rather barren (understatement). This is for serious desert lovers.
   Coward Springs and William Creek Pub are two nice places to camp in. A stop at the Pink Roadhouse in Oodnadatta is almost a must. Their burgers are great. Oodnadatta is the starting point for most adventurers who intend to cross the Simpson Desert from East to West over to Birdsville.
