Spear Creek Tourism Centre

Spear Creek Tourism Centre

Serenity, isolation and beauty, Spear Creek has it all on our own patch of the Flinders Ranges. Located 25 kilometres south-east of Port Augusta, our eastern boundary follows the summit of the ranges north from Horrocks Pass. Following walking trails through deep gorges to range top views of upper Spencer Gulf you may meet any of the three different species of kangaroos, echidnas or 85 species of birds including Wedge-tail Eagles and Peregrine Falcons who call Spear Creek Home. The owner operators of this small tourism business are fifth generation locals whose families have been farmers and graziers in this district for over 130 years. Our working sheep station abounds with history - trees scarred by Aboriginals removing boomerangs and shields and the remains of the original pastoral leaseholder's home established in 1849. The live-in conference centre and caravan park are nestled amongst 400 year old river red gums adjacent to the ranges. For accommodation you may choose our recently constructed spacious two bedroom bungalows, each of which has its own courtyard and gas barbecue or motel style rooms with ensuite and limited cooking facilities. For guests staying in our carpeted air conditioned bedrooms or camping in the caravan park, there is a fully equipped kitchen, dining and television room. Off site camping area for groups large and small all have their own flush toilet and water. Numerous fire rings with free firewood provide the ambience of the bush. Spear Creek is a very special place on our earth and provides a unique experience for all those who wish to regenerate their souls. ...read more
