Birdsville Track and Oodnadatta Track Travel Itinerary
Our next big trip is going to be four weeks through outback Australia. We are leaving from Sydney and travelling up to the Dig Tree via Menindee and Tibooburra with a bunch of good friends from the MARS Enthusiasts Camper Trailer Group.
The Real Aussie Outback
After the Dig Tree we are going up to Birdsville via the Planet Arrabury Road with a stop over at Haddon Corner. At Birdsville we all plan on driving up “Big Red” to watch the sunset. After exploring Birdsville it’s down the Birdsville Track to Farina with a night inbetween at the Mungerranie Hotel.
Oodnadatta Track
We are leaving our camper trailer friends at Farina and heading across the famous Oodnadatta Track to William Creek. We’ll be camping at Arckaringa Station for a few nights and having an explore around the Breakaways and the painted Desert. Then it’s on to Coober Pedy. We are then going to check out Woomera and explore around the town and look at all of the leftovers from the rocket range days and then it’son to Roxby Downs. Silverton is our next stop for a few nights and we’ll visit Broken Hill for about the fifth time. Then unfortunately it will be time to head back home.
All up we plan on about 7,000kms and many of them will be on red dirt. We love red dirt. It’s going to be an awesome trip. Please follow us along!
