22.01.2022 Thanks to the sweeping crew who came out to help protect equipment and keep the landing strip clear. Take offs and landings all part of the pilot training program and the gravel was no match for this sweeper.

21.01.2022 An historic sale for the region and congratulations to Graham and Laura Ragless! http://www.adelaidenow.com.au//7eb7a2a765a06bc584cf54fd0e0

18.01.2022 Congratulations to Ross Fargher of Nilpena Station, for winning the prestigious international Strimple Award. The award is given to amateur or avocational palaeontologists who have furthered the field of palaeontology. Ross discovered Ediacaran fossils on his property in the early 1980s, and since then scientists and fossil enthusiasts from all over the world have been coming out to see them. The fossils are so significant they have changed the measures for geological time ...and life on Earth. In 2004, a new international geological period, the 88-million-year Ediacaran Period was named after the fossil site. The Ediacaran fossils are a very special thing to have right on our doorstep, and help bring visitors to Leigh Creek every year.

Thanks again to Flight Training Adelaide for choosing Leigh Creek. We hope you come back again soon.

04.01.2022 Regional tourism is a really important economic contributor to South Australia’s Flinders Ranges and Outback region. Did you know that presently people from regional South Australia make up 28 per cent of visitors to the Flinders Ranges and Outback and that Adelaide visitors make up 38 per cent. Victoria and New South Wales are the Flinders Ranges and Outback's biggest interstate markets and Europeans contribute 65 per cent of international visits to region. ... Leigh Creek is a town open for business and is a fantastic location for people to experience the South Australia’s beautiful Flinders Ranges. The South Australian Tourism Commission and Outback Communities Authority are working with the Leigh Creek Progress Association and regional businesses on tourism opportunities for the outback town. Stay tuned for more information.
