Innamincka Town Common

After driving through the Strezlecki Desert with gibber stones and a dry landscape - arriving at Innamincka is like an oasis. Cooper Creek is lined with huge gum trees and the flocks of birds fill the air with their calls. It's always a delight to be there. It's the place where Burke and Wills travelled to on their journey across Australia. The story of the Dig Tree nearby. This painting conveys the peacefulness of this outback scene.
