The township of Leigh Creek is located 567km North of Adelaide, approximately a six-hour drive from the CBD. Situated on the edge of the Northern Flinders Ranges, Leigh Creek is the perfect destination for visitors seeking a variety of activities and experiences.  

It has been developed as a new township because the original settlement at Leigh Creek, located 13 km north of the present site, happened to be under the coal seam. In 1977 the new town site was chosen and by 1980 the first houses were occupied. The entire old town was auctioned off.  

It is a modern township with a series of neat modern roads and small, attractive plots of land on which standard modern houses had been built to house the workers and their families who previously provided the labour force for the huge Leigh Creek open cut coal mine which exists 22 km north of the town.  

Most of the coal now goes to Port Augusta where it is used to fuel the power station. The Leigh Creek Outback Resort, formally the Leigh Creek Tavern, is the premier accommodation in Leigh Creek, and is being developed into an iconic regional tourism location.
