Our favourite o/night
camp site up that way is about 34klm south of
Pimba..... you need to turn right/east off the highway where the
Woomera water pipeline crosses under the road. There is a dirt track that follows the pipeline and if you go along there about 1klm you will be able to pick a nice quiet spot in amongst the trees. There is usually ample small firewood for a
camp fire there too. No facilities whatsoever.

My secret
camp spot on a trek north is near Pootnoura Siding past
Coober Pedy. There is a Main Roads
Camp about 70km north of
Coober Pedy called Pootnoura. But it is noisy and can fill with generator bearing vans and RV's.
A little way on is Pootnoura Siding on your left and a
Microwave Tower. Take the bush track to the Siding and Tower and drive about 300metres beyond the Tower. There the land falls away into an ancient creekbed. You may
camp there amongst the Mulga Trees out of sight of the Highway and away fron roadtrain lights.
