NORTHERN, SOUTH AUSTRALIA WORDS STUART WOODBURY PHOTOS JEFF CROW

This particular loop out of Coober Pedy, South Australia has lots to see and gives you a perfect taste of what the real, outback Australia is truly like. The dirt roads are usually in good shape, but check the road conditions before venturing out as a bit of rain can soon make them quite difficult to pass – this is a remote part of Australia and proper medical help is normally a long way away. You could make this a long one day trip, but to really experience all there is to offer, I suggest making it at least a three day trip, with overnight stays at William Creek and Oodnadatta.
