South Australia (Outback Region)

William Creek
Along the Oodnadatta Track, William Creek is South Australia's smallest town. The irony is, it's surrounded by one of Australia's largest cattle properties, Anna Creek Station which is almost half the size of Tasmania.

The character of the outback is easy to meet here, especially in the old William Creek Hotel. The annual William Creek races draws visitors from all over the country for this outback race meeting.
