The Strzelecki Creek, part of the Lake Eyre basin, is an ephemeral watercourse located in the Australian state of South Australia.

Its watercourse is lined by trees, bordered by “large parallel sand ridges” and includes “a series of waterholes.”[2][3][4] Parts of the creek system are within the protected area known as the Strzelecki Regional Reserve.

[citation needed] The creek system is also within the boundaries of the non-statutory Strzelecki Desert Lakes Important Bird Area .

[5] The former pastoral lease property Tinga Tingana straddled the creek which also passes through Blanchewater Station.

[2][4] Explorer Augustus Charles Gregory and his party found that following Strzelecki Creek proved to be the best way to travel through the interior from the Pacific to the Southern Ocean.
