Description of Walker's Crossing
The 'Walker's Crossing' is an actual point along the Walkers Crosing route (4WD track between
Innamincka and
Birdsville). The crossing is named for Syd Walker who worked in SANTOS Field Services Division at
Moomba. He was responsible for the rebuilding of this crossing of the
Cooper Creek which suffered regular flood damage. Soon after the project was completed Syd had a massive heart attack and in his honour, the men of Field Services dDecided to name the crossing after him and built a
memorial at the crossing. Later an attempt was made to steal the
plaque so Field Services removed it to
Moomba for safe keeping.
