Birdsville Track Photos

A photo journey along the famous track



Join me on an amazing Outback journey - the Birdsville Track photos where taken during my trip in 2004. See some Outback pictures of stunning Outback scenery that makes you want to go there.

It is hard to capture the thrill of driving this great Outback road on a picture, but I am sure you will get the idea.

The tiny township Marree is the starting point of both the Birdsville and the Oodnadatta Track.


Lake Harry ruins
The Lake Harry ruin is the stunning reminder of a former date palm plantation. Hard to believe that someone even tried to grow palm trees out there. I am not sure if this is the truth, but I read somewhere that the trees did well, only the lack of bees to pollinate them made the project a failure.


DogFence
The dog fence, or dingo fence, is approx. 5400 km kilometres long and was built to protect sheep from the native dingoes. So you will find cattle country on one side of the fence, and sheep country on the other.


cattle country
Believe it or not, the harsh land along the Birdsville Track is considered to be good cattle country.


Mungerannie Hotel
Mungerannie Hotel is the only place along the Birdsville Track to get a cold beer, a nice meal, and a hot shower. They also offer fuel, spare tyres and minor repairs for your car.


Mungerannie wetlands, Derwent river
The Mungerannie wetlands just behind the hotel is a true oasis. A flowing bore created the billabong called Derwent river. Shady trees, and even a spa let you forget the dust and stones of the track.
