William Creek Aerodrome SA
William Creek Aerodrome in SA is approximately 40nm west of Lake Eyre, and 85nm east of Coober Pedy.
If you’ve flown out to William Creek, one of the team at WrightsAir will gladly give you any help needed whether it be the latest weather, suggestions for local scenics or what’s good to order for lunch at the pub. The hundred yard walk from the strip to the pub is pretty well mandatory if you want to tick off the legendary William Creek Hotel from the wish list, and that also means you’ve walked the Oodnadatta Track.
