Innamincka Station, South Australia, built by Henry Colless on the northern bank of Cooper Creek in 1875, was, until recently, believed be the original Innamincka Station. This belief is now challenged by the discovery of three small ruins on the south bank of Cooper Creek and the identification of a little-known pioneering venture of courage and youthful exuberance. Searches through a tangle of archives identified evidence that these humble ruins are the site of an earlier Innamincka Station homestead built by Robert Bostock in 1873. The site also contained a transient postcontact Aboriginal camp containing evidence that the Yandruwandha people maintained their traditional culture through the transfer of traditional lithic technologies to glass following the abandonment of the homestead in 1880. In addition, the analysis of manufactured artifacts associated with other features provided insights into the "station diet" of the pastoralists and the hardships they experienced in this harsh environment.

1875年,亨利·科勒斯(Henry Colless)在库珀溪北岸建造的南澳大利亚Innamincka站,直到最近仍被认为是原始的Innamincka站。现在,在库珀溪(Cooper Creek)南岸发现了三个小废墟,并发现了鲜为人知的勇气和年轻活力的开创性企业,这一信念受到了挑战。搜寻大量的档案,发现证据表明这些不起眼的遗迹是罗伯特·波斯托克(Robert Bostock)于1873年建造的Innamincka车站早期宅基地的所在地。该地点还包含一个短暂的接触后原住民营地,该证据表明Yandruwandha人民通过迁徙保持了传统文化在1880年废弃宅基地后,将传统的石器技术转变为玻璃。此外,
