The Oodnadatta Track is a long, rough unsealed track of 620km from Marree in South Australia through to the Northern Territory.
It takes you through some of the most historical and inhospitable parts of Australia, following an old aboriginal trading route, mound springs and the overland telegraph line.
Enjoy these photographs of the landscapes in and around the track. Read more about the journey at this blog.
