Leigh Creek, a former coal-mining town in South Australia's Far North, is nestled at the edge of the Northern Flinders Ranges, serving as a gateway to the vast Outback. Established in 1982 to support mining operations, the town boasts modern facilities, including a shopping mall, post office, police station, school, sports oval, golf course, tavern, fitness centre, and an Olympic-size swimming pool. Following the cessation of mining activities in 2016, the town has embraced tourism, offering attractions like the Aroona Dam, a surprising outback oasis, and the Ediacara Fossil Site, a preserved ancient seafloor rich in early multicellular life fossils. Leigh Creek serves as an ideal base for travelers exploring the desert beyond.
