Thargomindah to Innamincka

Longreach, Queensland

Travel west to Noccundra on the banks of the Wilson River, contained in the pastoral holding of Nockatunga Station. Tour the Noccundra Hotel, an important Cobb & Co. coach stop, built in 1882 from sandstone quarried in New South Wales and transported by camel train. Pass by large cattle stations and travel through the heart of the oil and gas fields to the famous 200 to 250 year old Burke and Wills Dig Tree, a reminder of Australia's pioneering spirit. Innamincka is located on the banks of the Cooper Creek in north-east South Australia and has a permanent population of about 12 to 15 people. It is a fascinating area rich in natural, Indigenous, pastoral and explorer history. The Innamincka Regional Reserve spans a total of 1.3 million hectares and is home to 200 species of birds, many native animals and reptiles. Explore the restored Australian Inland Mission building and spot local wildlife. Take a cruise on the Cooper Creek from Innamincka to see Wills' grave, Burke's grave, and King's Marker where sole survivor of the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition , John King, was found.
