Oodnadatta Track – Coober Pedy – Uluru – Travel Itinerary
Our next big trip is going to be four weeks through outback Australia. We are leaving from Sydney and travelling the Oodnadatta Track with some good friends then Coober Pedy then heading north to Uluru and Alice Springs then heading through outback Queensland.
We will visit many iconic locations on this epic 4 week road trip. Marree, Farina, William Creek, Coward Springs, Algebuckina Bridge, The Pink Roadhouse at Oodnadatta, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, Longreach and Winton are just some of the bucket list locations we’ll be visiting. All up we plan on about 7,500kms and many of them will be on red dirt. We love red dirt. It’s going to be an awesome trip.
Farina
We’ve been to Farina a few times before and it’s a great camp site. With a bit of luck this time the bakery might be open and we can finally get to try some of the pies. I’m looking forward to having a look around the old ghost town again to see how the preservation group is going with getting everything all squared away.
Algebuckina Bridge
We stopped at Algebuckina Bridge last time we went along the Oodnadatta Track and didn’t have time to stop for the night. This time we’ve locked it in so we can stay at the free camp. It’s going to be great to have a bit of time to explore around.
