Hi people,
how are you going? I have a question for the experts: I will be in
Coober Pedy in November and I would like to go to visit the "Painted Desert" by 4wd (my own). I remember the road to go to the
Oodnadatta Trek ... but I can' remember how far is it from the "civilisation" ... any clue please?
Thanks a lot and if you are in SA keep you cool!

Hi Luca
From
Coober Pedy, take the main road that is clearly signposted to
Oodnadatta. Around 100 kilometres up this road, you will see a
well used road on your left to Mount Barry and
Painted Desert. Like the screen dump attached, follow this road until you get to the 'T'
junction with
Arckaringa Homestead on your left. Turn right and keep going until you get to the Pained Desert proper. I would include pictures as normal, but I do not have any digital photos of them. The drive is
well worth it, but if you do not want to travel out that far, '
The Breakaways' only a short distance from
Coober Pedy are
well worth the short drive.
Cheers
Stephen
