 Description of William Creek

William Creek is a great place to stop and see the inside of a true outback pub. Facilities have also improved greatly with a nice new cafe, improved caravan park facilities including units and scenic flights depart from here also. An outdoor museum is located in the centre of William Creek, a town steeped in history, particularly as it relates to the Overland Telegraph, the Ghan Railway line and Woomera Rocket Range.

It is South Australia's smallest town and is located on the largest cattle stations in the world, Anna Creek Station.

William Creek Hotel stands out like a oasis in the desert. Along the Oodnadatta Track, about halfway from Oodnadatta to Maree and halfway from Adelaide to Alice Springs, the William Creek Hotel was built in 1887 to service the Ghan railway line that travelled between Alice Springs and Adelaide.

Oodnadatta Track Oodnadatta Track
If you’re a history buff you’re going to go nuts crossing the Oodnadatta Track. The track follows the orignal Ghan line from Marla to Oodnadatta and then on to Marree. There's stacks of ruins, mound springs, excellent conservation park information & railway sidings/rubble. [Feature Story]
