Keep an Eye on the Weather and Road Conditions!
Although a desert we can get severe weather events from time to time. These can make travel impossible so it pays to check what is happening before you leave Laverton or Coober Pedy.
You can also phone Ilkurlka on 08 9037 1147 - we will be happy to pass on what we know.

The best time to travel is in winter - it does get cold at night but the days are pleasant. In summer, temperatures are usually around 40°c and sometimes higher. Generally the weather is also a little more predictable as well!
