The owner is always riding around on his pushbike talking to people and making sure that everything is clean and tidy. Favourite place and would definitely visit again. Pit toilets, showers are very clean. Shower water was hot enough without lighting fire.

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]

National Parks,Reserves Water Body,River,Stream,Falls Point of Interest
Not a hole in the ground but a low mound around 10m high. Clear warm wateris out of bounds and is seen surging without a sound from the base of the pool at the top of the mound. Over the centuries minerals in the water have built up layer upon layer to make the mound higher. Surrounded by a harsh desert landscape.
