What the drive involves

The Strzelecki Track runs north-east from Lyndhurst, near the Flinders Ranges, across the Strzelecki Desert to Innamincka on Cooper Creek. Heavy vehicles use it daily, so corrugations, dust and loose stones are common; pull over and slow down for road trains. There is no fuel between Lyndhurst and Innamincka, and the road closes after rain.

What written approval means for your hire

Written approval means the trip is approved before you collect the camper and noted on your rental agreement. Ask for it when you book: approval can be refused, or come with conditions such as the season, a satellite phone or travel with a second vehicle. Driving there without it breaches the hire terms, and damage on the way is usually not covered.

Questions about the Strzelecki Track

Is there fuel on the Strzelecki Track?

Not between Lyndhurst and Innamincka. Fill up at both ends and carry a reserve.

Does the Strzelecki Track close after rain?

Yes. Check the South Australian outback road reports before you leave; driving a closed road brings heavy fines.

What is there to see at Innamincka?

Cooper Creek, the Dig Tree and the Burke and Wills sites in Innamincka Regional Reserve, where you pay a desert parks fee to camp.
