William Creek is a tiny town with 6 inhabitants and a dog. It is in the middle of the largest cattle station in Australia, Anna Creek station.
We had been warned the night before that there were a few bull dust traps and we might not get the bus through. A couple of road trains had to be pulled out. Wherever there is a dangerous part of the gravel road, red flags are put on the side to warn travellers. But before we could leave William Creek we had to change a flat tyre on the bus.
