Local Services, Accommodation & Information

Mobile Phone Reception

Mobile phone reception is limited in most parts of Outback South Australia. We recommend obtaining a Telstra Next G service for coverage in these remote areas, where you will have coverage in Hawker, Leigh Creek or in higher elevated areas in Lyndhurst and Farina.

Road Conditions

Roads conditions in the area vary depending on season. The main roads in Hawker and surrounding areas are predominantly sealed however access roads are generally gravel / clay. Lyndhurst is the last of the sealed roads if you are heading North towards Marree and Lake Eyre.

We recommend you visit the South Australian Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure for the most up to date road conditions. Please click here for further information.
