Innamincka

One of the most remote towns in Australia, this town in South Australia has a vibrant natural beauty and many great tales to tell. The towns name comes from the Yandruwandhana words 'Yini' and 'Mingka' meaning your watering hole.

The town sits on the Cooper Creek lined with river gum trees, with masses of native birds. The Callyamurra Waterhole, another famous landmark also surrounded by beautiful river gums, is home to ancient carvings and rich in history.
