RV TRAVEL
A much prettier route than the one to Marla is via The Painted Desert to Cadney Park on the Stuart . Linger through the magnificent scenery , and if possible spend a night camping at the Arckaringa Homestead to enjoy a sunset or sunrise over the desert .
Old Ghan engine , Marree .
For this , turn west 6km south of Oodnadatta on the road to Coober Pedy . Travel southwest for 45km , turn right and continue toward Arckaringa and through the Painted Desert for 41km . Veer right toward Stuart Highway and proceed 34km , turn right toward Copper Hill and Cadney Park , continue for 36km , and then make a sharp right with 12km to the Stuart Highway .
From the Stuart it is either a right or left-hand turn . Regardless of your intended direction , this adventure along The Outback Loop is one you will never forget .
