Map of Oodnadatta Track Australia
The Oodnadatta Track, Australia is an unsealed 617 km (383 mi) outback road between Marree and Marla via Oodnadatta in South Australia. Along the way, the track passes the southern lake of the Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park , and the outback settlements of William Creek and Oodnadatta.
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 because it will bring them through the heart of the Red Centre, which means that many sections of the journey will pass through remote and virtually barren terrain. It is up to travellers to make sure they come stocked with water, food and fuel.

Why Travel Around AustraliaOur senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
