Strzelecki

About Strzelecki

Encompassing over 814,000 hectares in northeastern South Australia, this vast reserve protects the Strzelecki Desert's pale sand dunes and the mostly dry Strzelecki Creek bed. The creek, an overflow of Cooper Creek, feeds ephemeral Lake Blanche when waters flow. The legendary 460km Strzelecki Track, blazed by cattle thief Harry Readford in 1870, traverses the reserve. No public vehicle access exists within the reserve itself, though travelers can journey along the main track.
