Oodnadatta Track:
Full of history, the colourful outback and the characters that call it home, this famous track is today a fairly well graded gravel road. The track is formed from natural earth and there are numerous corrugations, potholes, loose stones, sand patches and bulldust.
While there are springs along the way the water from most is undrinkable so you need to carry your own.
