Located in South Australia, near the mining town of the same name is the Olympic Dam Airport. Those visiting and hiring a car from Olympic Dam Airport will find plenty of things of interest in and around the town itself, but there may be some who are wanting a bit more flexibility in their visit.
Hiring a car at Olympic Dam Airport gives you that flexibility to go wherever you want to and visit the surrounding area such as the city of Adelaide. You can visit Lake Eyre or Mound Springs which are great family days out in Olympic Dam.
Renting a car from Olympic Dam Airport will make journeys a lot easier and just a short drive away is the incredible Lake Gairdner, which measures an amazing ninety-nine miles in length, and is the fourth largest salt lake in the whole of Australia. The lake is part of the Lake Gairdner National Park, which features walking tracks, amongst other things. The site is also a heritage site, and there are plenty of sacred spaces to be found around it for the Kokatha people who used to occupy the area.
Hiring a car at Olympic Dam Airport is a great way to get across the Lake Gairdner, which has only a few entrances.
People landing at Olympic Dam Airport and looking for somewhere further afield where they can take a day trip should head over to the city of Adelaide. Their botanical gardens and the Adelaide zoo are both fantastic days out for the family.
The city, which is the capital of South Australia, is known by many as the City of Churches, and those who want to see some incredible architecture will have a field day marvelling at all of the different buildings on display.
