Lake Caddiburrawirracunna



LAKE CADDIBURRAWIRRACUNNA
Not far north of William Creek & after passing the largest cattle station on Earth we make a diversion. The Oodnadatta is remote, the diversion we take is the William Creek Rd. This will eventually take us to Coober Pedy & it is remote but we find another track, barely signposted that leads us to a lake that I had seen on our map.
Along the way we pull the car over to climb a small desert dune to observe our location. Whilst here we stopped talking (as long as you can with the Cartwrights’) & observed the silence. It was remarkable; absolute silence, almost deafening in some strange way. I will never forget that complete silence.
Dano with some firewood collected at Lake Cadi


 LAKE CADI FIRE
Lake Cadi is located along a dead end bumpy track off the William Creek Rd. We had the whole place to ourselves & enjoyed a great night in the desert alone.
