Basic amenities such as payphone and toilets are available but there is little in the way of traveler facilities inside the terminal building. Car hire in Olympic Dam Airport is available.
Blinmin Drive and Olympic Way are the roads that connect the airport to the centre of the town. There isn't a great deal of tourism activities here, with most of the town devoted to the mining industry, and there is a monument at the discovery hole of the main mine. About half an hour outside of Olympic Dam is Lake Torrens National Park, a huge expanse of untouched natural wetland that is worth exploring.
Olympic Dam is hottest in the summer months of December, January and February, when temperatures regularly hit above 30°C. These months can be unpleasant times to visit because of the heat, with April and October preferable. The area doesn't get a great deal of rain at any time of year.
Olympic Way, which connects the town to the airport as well as nearby Roxby Downs, is the only major road here. Nevertheless, traffic is scarce and there is never any congestion in the town or on its outskirts. Compare car hire options online before heading to Olympic Dam to guarantee the best deals.
