Information

This free campsite is past the racetrack and is always open to campers (such as when the Boulia Racecourse campground is closed). Turn east to go down to the river. No facilities here.
The river was named in memory of Robert O'Hara Burke of the Burke and Wills expedition. The Burke River rises in the Standish Range north of Boulia. It flows south through Boulia towards the Simpson Desert in the Lake Eyre Basin.
Lots of small camping spots scattered around the river.
