Oodnadatta

The famed outback town of Oodnadatta is a must-see for visitors who want to get 'off the beaten track'.

The town has a heritage-listed sandstone railway station that has been converted into a museum and provides great tales of yesteryear.

Oodnadatta took its name from the Aboriginal word Utnadata which means 'blossom of the mulga'.

Travellers venturing into the outback can check road conditions with Transport SA on 1300 361 033.
