Plenty of information to be had here my Italian friends. Here is a link or two to our blogs from out Oodnadatta trip last year.

Oodnadatta Track, Marree and William Creek

William Creek, Lake Eyre and Duff Creek

I would also suggest you check the "Articles" section of Exploroz for an article on the Oodnadatta Track.

It is not difficult. It is a well graded 2wd track. I drove it in a Corolla in 1978 and many times since and its in the same condition today.
But the gravel is coarse and sharp so it can easily puncture and chip tyres. And when people drive too fast on it they can easily roll their vehicles because it's a bit like driving on marbles. And when it rains, you might the road might get closed and you'll have to stop for a a few days.

What sort of vehicle are you planning on driving?

Thank's friends, for your advice!!
I think we'll spend a really fantastich amazing holiday in your country!!
we really love Australia that is the land of hope and dreams instead Italy....
Thank again, bye!!

Are you aware the daytime temperature can get to 45 degrees C or more in that part of the country during the summertime?

Plan your travel and activities with the heat of the day in mind.
Always have plenty of water with you for general use and also as a backup.
Most people have a reserve of supplies with them at all times.

You can buy cheap but good tents/sleeping bags/self inflating mattresses at many stores such as Big W in Australia at very cheap prices,as well at at many camping stores. It may be an idea to buy them at the start of your trip, as you can be isolated at any time in the outback if it rains. It can get very cold at night in the desert.
You can also hire equipment in most capital cities.

I trust you are aware that most rental car companies will not allow a normal 2WD sedan to go on these tracks, and that if you had an accident you would be liable for the total cost of repair.
Some smaller 4WD rental companies will also rent camping equipment.

You can hire 4 wheel drive vehicles set up to camp in, from companies like Britz. You would be allowed to drive one of those on roads like the Oodnadatta Track. They have all the basic essentials, including cooking gear and bedding. They are usually Toyota 4WD vehicles.
