Innamincka Station. Cooper’s Creek, South Australia, where Burke and Wills Perished.

Innamincka had its origin in the failed attempt by Burke and Wills to return to Melbourne after having crossed the continent from south to north. In 1862 the government set an area aside near present day Innamincka for an Aboriginal mission station. However due to a lack of finance this was never established. Although still going, the town never had a population exceeding thirty people.
