Map of Strzelecki Track Australia
Strzelecki Track Australia: The Strzelecki Track is an outback
track in South Australia, mostly unsealed but with a few short sealed
sections to facilitate overtaking, linking Innamincka to Lyndhurst.
It passes through the Strzelecki Desert. The 475-kilometre (295-mile)
track was pioneered by bushman Harry Redford in 1871 and is passable
to conventional vehicles during the dry season, although caution
is required. A shorter route is available via a public access road
between Moomba and Innamincka, making the distance 458 kilometres
(285 miles). The Strzelecki Track runs for 475km from Innamincka
to Lyndhurst, with a shorter route of 458km allowing travellers
to get from Moomba to Innamincka. It is advised that travellers
take this route mainly in the dry season, as the single lane track
can become somewhat treacherous during the rains. It is important
that visitors venture out onto the Strzelecki Track fully prepared,
with food, fuel and water, since the track requires self sufficiency.
There is a fuelling station located on the track, but unfortunately
it is situated at the end.
