Innamincka to Lyndhurst
Strzelecki Track
About 470 km of gravel, sand drifts and gibber between Innamincka on Cooper Creek and Lyndhurst at the top of the Flinders Ranges, shared with gas-field road trains from Moomba. There is no public fuel on the way, and the 2026 floods have closed the Innamincka Regional Reserve and Coongie Lakes campgrounds until further notice.

What the trip asks of your 4WD
In the order a fitter would raise them, each with the reason. Up to three parts that fit for each, the first already chosen; swap any of them, or mark one you don't need.
Build it for your 4WD
Your rego or your model, and every part below is one that fits it. Until then you see the gear that fits any 4WD; the parts made for one vehicle wait for yours.
1 · Suspension & GVM
Corrugations and a full fuel load for 470 km without services work springs and shocks hard.
Build the suspension for your 4WDLift, load and the engineer's rules for your state, specced for the vehicle and what it carries.Build the suspension for your 4WD✓ In your 4WD's build · Change suspension2 · Storage & racks
Extra fuel and water for the longest leg need secure, balanced storage.
3 · Tow & rear bars
A rear wheel carrier holds a second spare and jerry cans for the long gap.
4 · Air intake
Road trains and sand drifts throw up thick dust.
5 · Bull bars
Kangaroos, cattle and emus cross the road at dawn and dusk.
6 · Lighting & 12V
A dual battery keeps the fridge running at bush camps along Cooper Creek.
Each of these is made for one vehicle, so the parts show once we know yours.
The trip asks for these; the rest of the rig is yours to choose. Build the whole rig for this trip.
