Officer Creek
Officer Creek is an ephemeral watercourse which runs from the Musgrave Ranges in the north-west of South Australia through the Aboriginal community of Kaltjiti in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. With the Ammaroodinna and Currie Creeks, it forms part of the Warburton River Basin.
Officer Creek is usually a dry sandy bed and only flows at times of very high rainfall.
