    First of all: it’s on the complete opposite site of the water!!! Keep going on the gravel road who passes the camping ground „Arckaringa Station“ and follow the signs to Oodnadatta. I’ll add the proper location on the map. Don’t expect Aboriginal paintings!!! The name comes from the colour of the hills. There is a short walk and a lookout.
