� Oodnadatta Australia: The Oodnadatta Track is renowned for being
hard on tyres so take more than one spare.
� Driving on the lake surface is illegal and dangerous. Lake Eyre
access tracks have no reliable water and are not recommended for
towing caravans or camping trailers. The track to Halligan Bay is
very sandy. The Oodnadatta Track is not the most challenging drive
in the Australian Outback, though it will travellers into the neighbourhood
of some of the most exciting attractions in the country, including
the Simpson Desert, Lake Eyre and the Red Centre.
� What to expect The Oodnadatta Track is made up of 617km of unsealed
outback roads that take travellers from Marree to Marla in South
Australia. Four-wheel drivers should be well prepared for this journey
