Only 3 hours drive North of Adelaide and an hour East of Port Augusta. Orroroo sees plenty of through-traffic especially on long weekends as people head up to the Northern Flinders Ranges from Adelaide. Now with bitumen road from Laura and up through Carrieton there's a multitude of route combinations to keep the journey from being repetitive.

Orroroo is also on a couple of major national 'flowlines'. East/West (Sydney, Brisbane to Perth) North Central/South-East (Melbourne, Sydney to Alice Springs, Darwin.

And Joy Baluch thought Port Augusta was the centre of the universe...
