**************************
The 620-kilometre unsealed Oodnadatta Track in central South Australia is renowned as one of the country's best outback drives. Rugged, remorseless, and rich in history (the Ghan rail line ran parallel to the Oodnadatta Track until it was moved west in 1980), the Track follows an ancient Aboriginal trail and links the towns of Marree, William Creek, Oodnadatta, and Marla. The latter three have connecting routes to Australia's famous underground opal mining town - Coober Pedy.
In this video we bring you tips for ten great things to do on the Oodnadatta Track from Marree to William Creek, and across to Coober Pedy. Along the way we take to the skies above epic Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, splash down in the bush spa at Coward Springs, track the ghosts of the old Ghan in Strangways Springs, try the dish of the day at the William Creek Hotel, go below ground in a former opal mine in Coober Pedy, catch a sunset in the Breakaways Conservation Park, and much more. It's a packed episode!

    Great episode Adam & good to see the Hilux / Gator X combo on the Oodnadatta; we've got the same setup & plan to do that route from Marla to Coober Pedy via William Ck next year. What tyre pressures we're you running on the Hilux and Van thanks?

    Thanks Ross. Much appreciated. 40 in the car and 50 in van. But we didn’t drive fast and had the Hilux in 4x4. There are varying views about whether you should reduce the pressure in your tyres. Adam
