But there is a railway stop approx 30km away from Coober Pedy, Ghan
will stop there if necessary, the hotels at Coober Pedy can arrange
bus/car pick up from the stop pre-arrangement. Except the train arrives
and leaves the stop at rather inconvinent time(3am IIRC and midnight
for the other direction) Some other visitors fly to Coober Pedy, no
doubt it would cost a bit.
