Roadhouse and garage at Lyndhurst, outback South Australia
Lyndhurst is situated at the southern end of the iconic Strzelecki Track, which leads to Cooper Creek and Innamincka, and the Oodnadatta Track, which heads north.
The small settlement, once known as Lyndhurst Siding, owes its existence to the narrow-gauge, Port Augusta to Government Gums (Farina) Railway which was completed in 1882. It is believed that the railway station was known briefly as Red Hill Station.
Mount Lyndhurst, 30km east, was named after the British Lord Chancellor by the government surveyor Samuel Perry. In the 1860s pastoralists took up vast areas of potential grazing country in the Northern Flinders Ranges region and beyond.
Land in the vicinity of Mount Lyndhurst was leased by Thomas Elder, who named this property after the landmark mountain.
Lyndhurst is 573km from Adelaide.
