Domestic dogs at the Dig Tree

Very high and still rising

Is it a National Park? - I thought it was on a lease hold property - a working station.

The Dig Tree is not a National Park, it is inside Queensland and part of Nappa Merrie Station so that is why you can take dogs there.

As for other areas inside South Australia like Cullyamurra Waterhole, the grave sites etc, you can take them into the Regional Reserve.

Here are some example where you can also take your dog

Hi Ian.g,

As stated by others, The Dig Tree is not in a National Park. We have camped there with our dogs on several occasions. It is a pleasant place to camp by the Cooper Creek and to base yourself for exploring the various other Bourke & Wills sites in the area.

There is a fee associated with camping at The Dig Tree with an “Honesty Box” at the entrance to the camp ground. You also need to be aware that there is a sensor at the entrance gate to the station off the main road that alarms at the homestead. Generally someone will come out to the campground and check to see that campers have paid their fee and attached the relevant “tag” to their camp.

The Dig Tree reserve is actually a "Area Of National Significance" administrated by The Royal Historical Society Of Queensland. The area is Managed by Nappa Marrie Station which is owned by Santos and leased by Kidman & Co.( I think) I apologize for saying that it was a national park but I thought that it had been declared one some years ago when the work was done to preserve the area, however being declared a Area of National Significance far outclasses a National Park.

But you can still take your doggies there.

A couple of interesting maps for you. The black pin is at Innamincka. The first map shows all the camp spots in WikiCamps in the area. The second map shows all those where pets are prohibited. If you have WikiCamps, use the filters to only display the types of camps you require.





The Dig Tree is the camp spot to the east of the pin across the border in Qld

A muzzle for your dog is a sensible precaution.
Even if the area is not baited baits can still be dropped and picked up by your little mate.
We a mini foxy and took him with us on the Canning.
We muzzled him whenever we stopped to look at a well or site.
A few people asked us if he was a dangerous dog. Lol.
