Pimpara Lake is a
family-owned working sheep and cattle property. The property is
located 130 kms south of Milparinka. If travelling from Broken
Hill via the Silver City Highway it is located 200 km from Broken Hill
with the turnoff the highway at the Smithville Tee Junction.
Alternately, follow the Sturt's Track touring route from Pine View
Station.
The homestead area
is located adjacent to one of several ephemeral lakes on the property
that fills periodically from the Packsaddle Creek. Birdlife and native animal
life is quite prolific.
One of the historical
features of the property is that it backs onto the sand dunes and salty
creeks over which Sturt's expedition struggled between the campsite on
Flood's Creek and their most famous site at Depot Glen.
Visitors to the property are
able to see at first hand measures that have been taken on the property
to ensure adequate water supply for stock and domestic use, and the
relationship between water and total grazing pressure on the land.
Self-contained accommodation
is available for up to twelve guests in the shearer's quarters, whilst
campsites are located adjacent to the Packsaddle Creek. Limited B
and B accommodation available. Tours can be arranged.
