Algebuckina Bridge 306km / 2632 km

Leaving the desert behind us after one more soaking in the hot spring. We started the 2nd part of our trip, outback touring, towards Lake Eyre on the Oodnadatta Track, where we will see many ruins of railway sidings, bridges of the Historic Old Ghan railway and pioneering cattle and sheep stations dating back to late 1800s. Our first stop was at Dalhousie Ruins where we saw great examples of old station buildings. We stopped for lunch at the quirky pink roadhouse in Oodnadatta. Oodnadatta is a typical remote outback settlement. We then made our way to the famous Algebuckina bridge where we set up camp. The bridge was built in the 1890s and made for an impressive sunset spot. Another glorious campfire meal with good company impressive clear night stars on another cold night.Read more
