Being our first time in this part of the world, we wen't too sure what to expect when travelling in the remoter areas. The usual route from Innamincka to Birdsville is north, via Cordillo Downs on the Strezlecki Track, but we had caught up with some seasoned travellers at Innamincka who urged us to follow them along the Walkers Crossing Track.
Walkers Crossing is named for Sydney James Walker, who was part of the Santos Field Service who constructed the crossing of the Cooper Creek. He died on 7th November 1986, just as the crossing was completed, and a plaque on the site is erected to his memory.
