The Strzelecki Track is an outback track in South Australia, mostly unsealed but with a few short sealed sections to facilitate overtaking, linking Innamincka to Lyndhurst.[2] It passes through the Strzelecki Desert. The 475 kilometres (295 mi) track was pioneered by bushman Harry Redford in 1871 and is passable to conventional vehicles during the dry season, although caution is required.[3] A shorter route is available via a public access road between Moomba and Innamincka, making the distance 458 kilometres (285 mi).[4]
