Truckster, it is a good road, have no idea why they say 9 hrs 22mins......but Google says exactly the same time, bizzarre.......

Coober Pedy is an interesting place, but much easier to have a look when you are on the tar. I would go to William Crk, have lunch and then a nice drive back to Marree. There is a few things to see on the way, Lake Eyre being one of them. When are you going? John

G'day Truckster,

Both the Oodnadatta Track from Marree to William Creek and the track down to Coober Pedy through Anna Creek Station are generally good outback tracks and not particularly rocky.
(The Borefield Track from Bopeechee to Roxby Downs however is a different matter, especially the southern section - rocky as.)

There may be some roughish sections through creek crossings after the drenching the area has had recently but I notice all roads are declared open.

Mate, you gotta have a beer or two at William Creek Hotel as one of the iconic outback pubs.

As far as Coober Pedy is concerned, some people like it, some don't.
There is not a lot to see at first glance as most of the town is underground, but I like the place and think it's worth a visit to say "I've been there".


Bill.

Last September the Coober Pedy/William Creek road was the best Outback dirt road I had ever been on.

I was able to maintain 100-110 with the camper trailer. There were almost NO corrugations which I assumed was from few trucks using the road.

BUT things can obviously change quickly out there.

If you are going to Coober Pedy dont miss the Breakaways just north of town
