Oodnadatta Track diesel prices and campground information

Hi everyone,

for those of you planning on travelling near these places, we arrived in Marla this afternoon after spending the last few days on the Oodnadatta Track. The prices for diesel were as follows

Marree - $1.95 per litre
William Creek - $2.20 per litre
Oodnadatta - Pink Roadhouse $1.98 per litre
Marla - $1.84 per litre.

We had fantastic weather with clear days and cold nights, the road was in much better condition than we had expected to William Creek and a bit rough in places north of there.

No problems with either our Navara or Jayco sterling outback van. However friends travelling with us did not cover their rear canopy window with cardboard as we did, and had it shattered by a deflected rock just south of Oodnadatta.

Have been cleaning kilos of red dust out of the van and back of the ute for the past few hours.

Had a wonderful time - so much to see and interesting campgrounds. Wonderful scenery.

We stayed in Farina, Coward Springs, William Creek, Oodnadatta for one night (had intended staying two but the powered sites were $32 per night and when we needed power early in the morning for breakfast and heating, it went off and stayed off! In other ways it was a very ordinary caravan park and we would not recommend it) .
Had a wonderful free bush camp about 7 kms from Oodnadatta last night alongside Neales Creek at Hookeys waterhole and should have stayed at Algebuckina waterhole too, it was beautiful.
If in the area don't miss the Painted desert between Oodnadatta and Coober Pedy.
There are many, many mice in William Creek.
Regards,

Heather
