Old Strzelecki Track

The Old Strzelecki Track near Innamincka offers 4WD enthusiasts a rare opportunity to traverse a historic stock route through one of Australia's most remote and pristine outback landscapes. You'll discover why this trail has captivated adventurers seeking authentic outback experiences—combining accessibility with genuine remoteness that challenges your navigation skills rather than your vehicle's suspension.

Spanning 43.8 km of predominantly flat terrain, this track winds through expansive desert country characterized by sparse vegetation, red earth, and sweeping vistas that showcase the raw beauty of inland South Australia. The gentle grade means you'll maintain steady progress without technical difficulty, allowing you to focus on the scenery and historical significance of following in the hoofprints of drovers and stockmen. You should prepare for long stretches between services and bring ample water, fuel, and supplies—the isolation that makes this trail special also means help is distant.

Wildlife encounters are possible, though rare, and you'll need to stay alert for sudden changes in track conditions after rainfall. The relatively short 36-minute average completion time makes this an ideal trail for those building confidence in off-road driving or wanting to experience the outback without extreme technical demands. Using the Newtracs app, you can track your progress and access detailed route information to ensure you're following the correct path through this historic corridor.
