Long shot of a Dingo trotting away from the Oodinatta track.
The Pink Roadhouse was started by a young woman in the 70’s The idea being for a fun stopping place!
Even the picnic area !
Gidgee trees (Acacia cambagei) growing along sand or stony creek banks after leaving Oodnadatta.
We left the Oodnadatta track at the town, where it veers west to Marla, ending at the Stuart Highway. Instead we took the track north to Witjira National Park – It seemed more interesting being a desert NP on the edge of the Simpson Desert!
This route is some distance from Old Ghan railway although it too heads north, crossing the border of Northern Territory to Finke. We only cross over the Old Ghan railway at the old Pedirka Station (ruins) to enter Witjira National Park.
This National Park protects large areas of desert flora and unstable ground where thermal mound springs are still being formed.
