Day 10, 11 to Oodnadatta

Arrived at William Creek, very small town population about 12 people but today they had bronco branding on so it was very busy. This is where horse and rider have to cut out and lassoe a calf for branding. Not a lot in town , the pub, caravan park , oh and they do have a parking meter!
 Fueled  up at $2 per litre and headed off we saw more railway sidings and the last before Oodnadatta was the Algebuckina Bridge which is the longest railway bridge in S.A. At the bottom lays the wreck of an EJ Holden of which tried to cross the bridge when the road was flooded and with luck not on his side met a train half way, he had to jump.
Spent the night camped at the "Pink Roadhouse"
