The Oodnadatta Track

Hi. Earlier this year I asked members for tips about driving the OT. I am a NZ based travel writer and I drove the track in August. I have written a number of stories for various NZ publications about my trip. The first of these to be published can be viewed on the following link...

Thanks for that, you are pretty lucky to have a job where you get paid to do things that others do for fun. Also, I indulged in some sybaritic pleasure at Oodnadatta once, but I didn't know it at the time. :-)

FYI: the 'track' goes from Maree to Mt Dare near the SA NT border. Oodnadata is about half way along the track which is more of a dirt highway
