The Oodnadatta Track
The Oodnadatta-Track is a popular alternative to the Stuart Highway. Between Marree and Oodnadatta the track goes along the old Ghan Railway and so there're many ruins of old Railway Sidings and Bores to see. William Creek and the famous William Creek Hotel and Oodnadatta with the Pink Roadhouse are worth to see.

Springs
Today this railway siding is a popular camping spot. Have a look at the old cottages or have a bath in the natural spa, like I did. |
 Mound
SpringsFormed from an accumulation of dissolved salt deposits, these mounds (Blanche Cup and the Bubbler) are some of the most remarkable attractions along the Oodnadatta Track. Today the Area of Mound Springs is a Conservations Park, which can be reached on a short track. |

 CurdimurkaCurdimurka is another railway siding on the Oodnadatta Track. Its famous for the Curdimurka Outback Ball, which takes place here every second year. |
