 Description of Strangways Springs

Near this location is Strangways Siding with nothing much left, but to the left of the road a rough bulldusty track goes up a hill to an impressive ruined site that was once the Strangeways Telegraph Repeater Station. There are stone-walled stock pens, a huge stone-walled water tank that looks more like a church until you find it has no door, and other crumbling ruins.

This site has also come under protection by a conservation group but for tourists all this means is steeping through gate in a rabbit proof fence.

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]
