Innamincka

Innamincka is a small town with big dreams but with a deep dark history and has been enduring 90-year decline. Although from the air it looks like there's nothing there but around 25 blocks, the true Innamincka is silently sitting in the vast Strzelecki/Outback region of South Australia with only a population of only 15 people. Its unaffected pastoral feel makes a comfortable base from which to explore the majestic natural landscape, parts of which you can be sure no other non-indigenous Aussie has ever set foot on.

  1. Do

    Cooper Creek Crossing

    Try crossing Australia's second longest inland river; the only problem is that the river has to be in a good mood for you to cross. Even if Cooper creek is too high to cross it is fun to walk down to the causeway in the early evening and watch the pelicans scooping up fish coming out of the culverts.

  2. Do

    Innamincka Golf Course

    Welcome to Australia's most remotest golf course. Unlike Coober Pedy, the grass is green, despite being so far inland into the outback. The 18-hole golf course is free if you stay at the Innamincka Hotel.

  3. Do

    Starlight Cinema

    Like the outback? Like the movies? Like astrography? Starlight Cinema is a small cinema run by the Innamincka Hotel, right in the heart of Australia. And what's better than watching an Aussie movie under the stars in the heart of Australia. Oh, and don't like watching the ads at the start, well why not have a game of 18-hole golf?

  4. Do Not mapped

    Dig Tree

    The drive to the Dig Tree takes about an hour mostly on sealed roads but some dirt. The Dig Tree is the most famous camp site of the Burke and Wills expedition and makes for an interesting visit.

    Ranger talks

    The Rangers give talks from time to time. These are very informative and well worth attending

  6. Do Not mapped

    kayaking on Cooper creek and Coongie lakes

    if conditions are right kayaking is great but often the water levels in the creek and the lakes are not suitable, either too low or too high also access to Coongie Lakes can be difficult. Best to check with the rangers before setting out for a 1000km drive with your canoe.
