Coober Pedy to Parachilna Gorge

Return to Homepage

From Coober Pedy it was across to William Creek and down the Oodnadatta Track to camp in Parachilna Gorge. We stopped to look at some of the remnants of the old Ghan railway line, and to look at some of the mound springs. Just before Marree there is a 'park' of 'scultures', obviously done by someone with a huge sense of humour - well worth half an hour to wander through.
