Lake Hart and orange dunes, on the way to Coober Pedy

Uluru via Stuart Highway 2025

Today we’re heading from Spud's Roadhouse, in Pimba, through Glendambo, to Coober Pedy. Quite a few wide shallow lakes along the way, which I imagine are often dry.

This was the biggest we saw – Lake Hart, a salt lake. We wandered down the walking track, to Orange sand dunes, and discovered a train track – the rail to Ghan. A long load train wrapped its way past, far into the distance. Beautiful spot.

  1. Great to see these, as I'm thinking of doing the trip from Canberra to Lake Eyre in a couple of months to see it full of water! I did the road trip from Melbourne to Uluru about 25 years ago, and I recall stopping at many interesting places along the way, including Lake Hart.
