Coward Springs - The Ultimate Camping Experience

The buildings at Coward Springs have been constructed from reclaimed materials, mostly from the Old Ghan Railway.

A spectacular sunset after a spectacular day.
What a way to end the month.

A 'whoop' bird...this one's for you Willow.

It's a long way between towns out here! Two hundred and four kilometres between Marree and OOdnadatta to be exact. It's no exaggeration when I say that Coward Springs is an oasis.
Prue and Greg (owner managers) you have created heaven on earth.
What I thought was the piece de resistance; if you want a hot shower, you have to heat up your water by lighting a fire! Or failing that have a dip in the warm artesian bore on site.
The camp was spotless, fireplaces provided, you could collect your own timber along a five kilometre stretch of road before entering the park, fees are very reasonable, wetlands and Old Ghan Railway relics to explore.
Bring everything! No corner store out here.
Tomorrow, William Creek.
