I did the Oodnadatta a couple of years ago. It is fairly easy however as noted in an earlier post, watch out for ruts caused by 4WDs. This is a particular problem after the mud has hardened - 90kmph is quite safe in some places but entering a 10m-long rut at this speed is almost guaranteed to hurt. Because ruts form in dips where water collects, they are often difficult to see until you're in them.
If you go off the track (say William Creek to Cooper Pedy) expect rocks or deep sand. Also remember to let someone know where you're going - although the Oodnadatta and Birdsville are fairly well-used, side-tracks (for example down to Lake Eire) can be rarely used and if you get into trouble (for example getting bogged on Lake Eire) you may be waiting a long time for help.
Cheers
