Lyndhurst is the setting off point for travellers going north-east to Innamincka on the Strzelecki Track or north to Oodnadatta and Birdsville via Marree.
The Strzelecki Track partly follows an old stock route along the Strzelecki Creek, named by Charles Sturt in 1845. The track passes very close to the impressive Moomba natural gas field complex.
Five kilometres north of Lyndhurst, you'll find spectacular red, brown and white ochre cliffs used for thousands of years by Aboriginal people trading ochre with other groups.
