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.

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.

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.
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?
