Oodnadatta
Oodnadatta is a little town, situated at the point, where the Oodnadatta-Track heads west to Marla and the old Ghan-Railway north to Alice Springs.
In 1912 Reverend John Flynn, who founded the Royal Flying Doctor service later, established the first Outback-Hospital in Oodnadatta.
Today Oodnadatta has approx. 200 inhabitants and is an important service-centrum in the Outback of South Australia with a police station, a small hospital, vehicle repairs and a general store.
The Pink Roadhouse is a remarkable building in Oodnadatta. Here you get everything you need for the further journey. Meals and beverages are also offered here. In the Pink Roadhouse there is also the post office of Oodnadatta.
One should visit the Pink Roadhouse to get information about road-conditions. Here you also get the key for the old station of Oodnadatta, which is a small railway museum today and worth seeing. The owners of the Roadhouses spent a lot of time to sign remarkable places in the district.
From Oodnadatta you can go north to the Witjira National Park, Dalhousie Springs, Mt Dare Homestead and Alice Springs. William Creek is about. 200 km south of Oodnadatta on the Oodnadatta-Track.
