From the junction, the 202 km north to Oodnadatta Track follows the ancient Aboriginal trade route, famous for it’s permanent springs. Camel trains and cattlemen passed this way, as did the Overland Telegraph Line from Port Augusta to Darwin (completed in 1870) and the original "Ghan" narrow gauge railway. Many have no doubt stopped at one of William Creek’s main attraction, the unique bush pub.

William Creek can be accessed from four different routes — north, Oodnadatta — south, Roxby Downs or Marree, and via Coober Pedy in the west. Currently all these roads are unsealed and are usually well maintained making them suitable for 2 wheel drive vehicles, however this can change quickly due to weather conditions.
 

There are signs at the start of all of these roads, giving information on road conditions, or contact the local or regional visitor centres for up-dates on road conditions.
