Hi Peter
Not sure myself about the specialties but a couple of things that might interest you. A great place to camp was at Algebuckina Bridge. On the banks of the river (creek/waterhole) with an old rail bridge making a striking scene as the sunsets behind it. When we were there there were a few other people but everyone seemed friendly. Didn't see any unusual birds but it was a few years ago before i was as aware and experienced as i am now (not that that is saying much!) You will pass through Lyndhurst of course which is the place for Chestnut-breasted Whiteface. Peter Fuller would be the person to speak to about that - i dare say you saw his email with a photo trip report from there.
(Great photos and web site Peter!!)
There is a dam just south of Leigh Creek where we saw Musk Duck.
The mound springs on the OOdnadatta were also worth a visit. Fascinating. Also in nearby waterholes to there we saw good numbers of Pink-eared Duck.

Cheers
David Stowe

Hi everyone,

I am heading up the Oodnadatta Track in a few weeks time. Has anyone been there recently or know what specialities to look out for ? Do Chestnut-breasted whitefaces occur along the track ?

Cheers,

Peter.
