Oodnadatta Track – Day 4
Mon 16th - Was a great camp spot literally in the middle of nowhere. We had a leisurely start this morning, wiping dust from seals, putting tape over locks as the dust is making some hard to open.

Oodnadatta Track – F, OR, D. Awesome nothing there but wide open spaces. We loved the trip down the track. There are a few places marked for camping but you can pretty well pull off any where, which is what we did here, talk about big sky country. Rating – 6
