Oodnadatta <span class="highlight">track</span> conditions

We were planning of coming that way in early September, but it was closed and had been for some weeks due to very heavy rain previously. It opened a few days later.
Since then it would have had relatively less traffic than usual, so my guess it that it will be fine.
My advice is "go for it". You can always turn around if it does not suit you.

The wild flowers in that area should be the best in decades.
It would also be the perfect time for a flight from William Creek.

Open to all traffic according to Transport SA website.

The Oodnadatta Track can get pretty busy.

Best advice is to avoid long weekends and school holidays, and know which way the wind is blowing :)

G'day Rod - that run's all good this time of year. Coober Pedy to William Creek is bitumen, then the Oodnadatta Track itself is well-formed gravel with corrugations in patches; the big washaways from the wet a couple of years back have been repaired but take it easy on the dips. Fuel and supplies at William Creek (limited hours), Oodnadatta, and Marla on the Stuart. October's dry and the track's busy with season traffic, so the worst corrugations are usually near the camps - lower pressures and a steady speed sorts it. Carry water regardless, and the old Ghan sidings along the way are worth the stops.

You're right, and my apologies - I had that wrong. The Coober Pedy to William Creek road is unsealed, not bitumen. Thanks to Peter and Stephen for the correction; I'll stick to what I actually know from here on. The rest of that earlier note still stands: the track itself is gravel with corrugated patches, fuel at William Creek and Oodnadatta, and October is a good dry-season window.

Thanks Peter, good intel. Closed over its whole length is worth knowing - I'll hold off until it reopens properly. The wildflowers will be worth the wait.

That's a quick turnaround. The 3 tonne no-towing limit will keep most vans and campers waiting a bit longer, but for a light 4WD it sounds doable. Appreciate the updates, Peter.
