Description of Pink Roadhouse
Situated 200kms north east of
Coober Pedy, on the famous
Oodnadatta Track,
Oodnadatta's Pink Roadhouse is the town's most notable icon. With many litres of pink paint adorning objects and signposts in the surrounding area, the Pink Roadhouse, operating since its inception in 1974 by Adam and Lynnie Plate, supplies passing tourists with their every need.
Prior to the arrival of Adam and Lynnie there was really only a marginal tourism interest in the
Oodnadatta Track. Adam and Lynnie being travellers themselves recognised the potential for growth and positioned themselves to service the industry as it grew. In fact, both Adam and Lynnie had a hand in the naming of the
Oodnadatta Track.
The Pink Roadhouse provides hot food, fuel, groceries, fruit & vegetables, heavy transport, a Caravan Park, tourist information,
tyres and repairs, breakdown vehicle recovery and vehicle transport.
Good reliable, local road condition information is readily available.
