Adelaide to Coober Pedy road trip: Distance, drive time & stops

Adelaide to Coober Pedy by car: Mount Remarkable National Park

Another option on the Port Pirie to Port Augusta leg is Mambray Creek, the gateway to the Mount Remarkable National Park. You could go for a walk in the national park at the end of the drive from Adelaide. The drive from Mambray Creek to Coober Pedy then next day is a mere, trifling six hours long.

Once past Port Augusta, you’re very quickly into true outback. The main points of interest on the Port Augusta to Coober Pedy leg are the bizarre space and military town of Woomera and the giant salt lakes. Lake Hart is the most accessible of these South Australian salt lakes, should you fancy a photo stop.
