The Oodnadatta Track (OT) is certainly the most historic Outback track in Australia, hence it should be on top of your South Australia travel itinerary. It is classified as an easier route, so it is just right for anyone with no Outback experience.
The track follows an ancient trail used by Aborigines for ochre trading for thousands of years. Artesian mound springs supply water in this arid region. Aborigines relied on this water source as well as the European explorers who used the route to build the Overland Telegraph and the Old Ghan railway lines in the late 19th century.
This was the time when the story of camels in Australia and Afghan cameleers began. Without the ships of the desert, exploring the vast Australian inland would have been even harder.

Der Oodnadatta Track (OT) ist sicherlich der historischste Outback-Track in Australien und sollte daher ganz oben auf Ihrer Reiseroute durch Südaustralien stehen. Sie wird als einfachere Route eingestuft und ist daher für jeden ohne Outback-Erfahrung genau das Richtige.
Der Weg folgt einem alten Pfad, der von den Aborigines seit Tausenden von Jahren für den Ockerhandel genutzt wurde. Artesische Hügelquellen liefern Wasser in dieser trockenen Region. Die Ureinwohner verließen sich auf diese Wasserquelle ebenso wie die europäischen Entdecker, die die Route Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zum Bau des Overland Telegraph und der Old Ghan Eisenbahnlinie nutzten.
Dies war die Zeit, als die Geschichte der Kamele in Australien und der afghanischen Kameltreiber begann. Ohne die Schiffe der Wüste wäre die Erkundung des weiten australischen Hinterlandes noch schwieriger gewesen.
