An early start – pack up and into the spa again. After convincing Liam to get out we set off for William Creek. A few stops along the way including Beresford siding (big dam and nice camp sites and lots of bones), and various other Ghan ruins.
William Creek was bustling. Quite a few people from Coward Springs with most heading across to Coober Pedy. The inside of the pub is covered in all sorts of stuff. Made a donation to the RFDS and took some photos. Liam had two icecreams.
Chatted with Ian and family (on ExplorOz) about possibly going to Haligan Bay but decided it was too hard. They headed over to Coober Pedy and we kept going north (via the rubbish dump).
Along the way we detoured via a 4WD PAR to Old Peake Telegraph Station. This was worth a look. The operators and pastoralists did it hard. Lunch in the shade of a tree then through to Algebukina Bridge.
An impressive piece of engineering. A look around, some photos then across the Oodnadatta Track into the northern most part of the Kidman Peake Station. Camped right on the waterhole.
No luck with yabbying although lots of shrimp that are almost worth eating. Leaving the net in overnight.
A campfire using Ghan sleepers and a beautiful sunset over the water. Such a change from earlier in the week.
