The Midnight Oil House in Burra, South Australia is a must-visit for fans of Aussie music and rustic outback landscapes.

Made famous by its appearance on the cover of Midnight Oil’s 1987 album Diesel and Dust, the house is an abandoned stone cottage set against the wide, open plains just outside of Burra. It’s not officially a tourist site with amenities—more of a pop culture pilgrimage spot—but it makes for an iconic photo stop with its weathered charm and strong sense of Aussie history.

Whether you're into photography, music history, or just enjoy offbeat landmarks, it's a quick detour that adds a memorable highlight to your South Australian road trip. Best viewed in the soft light of sunrise or sunset for that classic outback glow.
