Lyndhurst

Lyndhurst is a small historic town in South Australia, located at the southern end of the Strzelecki Track. It was initially developed as a railway siding in 1878 and officially became a town in 1896, serving as a crucial freight hub for the Great Northern Railway. This railway, known as the Ghan, connected remote regions to larger cities and supported the area's agricultural activities. The last train passed through Lyndhurst in 1980, marking the end of its railway era.

The town is also known for its cultural significance, particularly the Ochre Cliffs, located just 5 km north. These cliffs were a traditional ochre quarry for Aboriginal communities, who used the pigment for ceremonies and trade, reaching regions as far as Northern Territory and Queensland. Additionally, Lyndhurst is the starting point for exploring the vast outback, including nearby attractions like Farina, a nearby ghost town with historical ruins.
