North Peake Siding

Another blooding ruin on the Oodnadatta Track.

As the side trip into the Old Peake Ruins had taken us 2 hours in travel time we were never going to get to Oodnadatta so we camped here.

Since we were camped over night I had another go at capturing the amazing star display.

Peake River Bridge

The North Peake Siding is just north of the Peake River Bridge.

Oops may have gotten a little too close for that shot of the bridge.

Peake River Line

While all the steel line has been pulled up and around the sidings there is nothing of the rail lines if you walk down the track a bit you can find old sleepers and dog pegs. Interesting there doesn't appear to have been any ballast used the sleepers just laid on the dirt.
