Strzelecki Track

Understand

The Strzelecki Track is one of SA's four major tracks along with the Birdsville, Oodnadatta, and Borefield Tracks. Although there are nine major tracks, these four have been proclaimed as more significant. Whilst all of these are unpaved, they still are tracks which must be used to access various different towns across South Australia. With a total length of 475 kilometres, the Strzelecki Track is not very long as Australian standards go -- however, you will need a 4WD to get from Lyndhurst to Innamincka. But what it lacks is the number of servos along the way: zero.

Additionally, while some maps may have the marker "D96" on it, the route is unsigned, and thus, don't go looking for D96 signs due to the DPTI's policy of unsigning unsealed roads.

Getting there

The Strzelecki Track can be only accessed at either end and at Moomba.

Getting around

By car The only way you will manage to get on this track is by a 4WD. Do not attempt to bring a sedan, caravan or anything that is not a 4WD as it will almost certainly struggle to climb up the high mountains of the Flinders Ranges.

By bus Buses do not operate on this track and will not operate on this route in the near future due to safety reasons.
