Innamincka Regional Reserve

About the Innamincka Regional Reserve

Innamincka Regional Reserve is a park of contrasts. Covering more than 1.3 million hectares of land, ranging from the life-giving wetlands of the Cooper Creek system to the stark arid outback, the reserve also sustains a large commercial beef cattle enterprise, and oil and gas fields.

History and Heritage

The area’s most famous link with Australian pioneering history is with the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition. After setting off from Melbourne in August 1860, Burke and Wills reached the Cooper in November and set up camp on the banks of the creek north of Innamincka.

Innamincka Regional Reserve accommodation options are homesteads, hotels and camping.
