The car park for Strangway Springs is about 2 k off the main Oodnadatta Track.

A short walk up the hill from the car park you come to a set of ruins for what really was a small village. This is the managers residence and overland telegraph repeater station.

As these stone yards testify as well as being a telegraph station it was a grazing property complete with yards and a stone shearing shed.

This was all only possible because of the mound springs and the water they provided.

This mound spring is called the waterfall. While now its output is a mere trickle when the village was in its heyday it was reported that a man could stand under the water fall for a shower.

This is the most complete structure left on site. It was the water tank.
