All arrangements to be made via the Club's Trips Coordinator. Refer to the User Info.


Why Kudriemitchie and TLCC?

It was during 1994 that a group of TLCC members were travelling in the area and it was discovered that the future of the Outstation looked bleak. Due to vandal attacks and the ravages of time, it's condition was such that Kidman Pastoral Co. was planning to demolish the building. This prompted some members of the club to approach DEHAA and Kidmans to suggest that the Club restore the building. This was agreed to by all parties and the first working bee was held in 1995.


Quote from the sign near the building:

This Outstation was used to accomodate mustering parties working many kilometres from the main homestead at Innaminkca.

The building was relocated here from Innamincka Number One, one of the first oil and gas exploratory rigs in the Cooper Basin.

This building is being restored as a Park Management base to undertake scientific research and park development.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resouces gratefully acknowledges the Kidman Pastoral Company for the provision of this facility and the Toyota Landcruiser Club of Australia (S.A.) Inc for assisting in the Restorattion of the building and surrounds.

Both signs acknowledge that much time and effort has already been directed to providing a facility which is valued by the three parties concerned with its continuing existence.
