Central Australia 2014 - Day 15 Dalhousie Springs Oodnadatta

The morning was cool but the water was not.  All nine of us had a long swim before breakfast.   We all enjoyed the Springs so much we wanted to stay another night.  However, we decided to leave after lunch and head to Oodnadatta.  The kids fitted in a lunch time swim before we left. 

We visited the Dalhousie Station Ruins.  Dalhousie Station was South Australia’s most northern pastoral lease.  The land was used to graze and breed sheep, goats, horses, camels and cattle. Other more experimental agricultural crops such as date palms and Lucerne were also trialled. 


We stopped at Oodnadatta at the Pink Roadhouse before setting up camp at North Creek.
