oodnadatta track

track either side of mt dare is bleep e!!!!!! lower tyre pressures like never before and take it slow! beware of the mozzies at dalhousie!

Finke fuel is only available certain days a week certain hrs.

Oddnadatta track is like a hwy with soooo much to stop and look at! Algebuckina Brdige worth the stop along with peake station - which takes forever to drive into but soooo worth it.

Dont go side tracking off the track - had to rescue a surveyor out of a clay pan near north creek i think ts called....

have fun!

Great Trek, but not serious in difficulty. Distance is the issue with the track but if you are set out with 4-5 days of water & food you shall do it as a nice easy pace.

Take your time, lower your tyre pressure around 28-30 in a defener , stop and take in sites and enjoy. There is so much to see take your time and you'll enjoy.

But this depends on which exact route you are taking

Hey Lyndon.

I travelled from Lyndhurst to Marla in January, I sat on 70/80 kph no problems towing a CT, My tyre pressures were 40 front 42 rear, I would not recommend lower, as you will tear the side walls out of your tyres.

Cheers Steve.

I have just got a book named Oodnadatta to Alice Springs from the EO shop. It looks great with a lot of detail. Haven't used it in the field yet but looks brilliant.

Just back from Alice - Old Andado - Mt Dare - Eringa - Oodna - Marree.

The bulldust from St Theresa to Mt Dare is the worst I have ever encountered in about 35 years of travel. It's up to 45 cm deep for many consecutive kilometres. Speeds we drove in these sections were about 60-70 kph, at best. Once in the softer country of the dunes & swales it was easier going.

Oodna track in very good condition, especially from about Algebuckina Bridge to Marree. Fair from Mt Dare & Dalhousie turn-offs to Oodna.

We were in my GU Patrol, about 3.5 t,with the Goodyears set on 28psi. No tyre issues. The green cans near Alice Springs were an interesting comment on the Intervention Policy.

Have fun & use the Westprint map.

There are great bushcamps in Parachilna Gorge, about 12 k east
of Parachilna towards Blinman. Commercial camping in Maree isnt
all that exiting.Algebuckina Bridge is also a top camping spot.
The museum in the Ood railway station was closed this time last year but it is very good if indeed still open. Ask at the Roadhouse.
Have a good trip...oldbaz.
