Cullyamurra Waterhole camping area
Campsite
To reach one of Australia’s grandest waterholes, with spectacular red gums and abundant birdlife, take the signposted turn-off 7 km east of Innamincka on the Innamincka–Nappamerrie Rd. It’s another 7 km to an array of waterfront campsites along the south side of Cooper Creek; a permit is required. Powerboats up to 10 hp are allowed, but speed has to be kept under 10 knots.The birdlife is amazing here, and the sound of flocks of hundreds of corellas coming in to roost in the trees for the night is really something. At the end of the vehicle track along the waterhole is a walking trail that follows the shore to an area called The Choke, where the Cooper Creek enters the waterhole. Near here are also some impressive petroglyphs—covering the exposed red and black stone slabs and boulders.
