Ghost Town Cricket

An Abandoned Town's Legacy Endures

In the remote South Australian outback lies Farina - an abandoned railway ghost town with a spirit that refuses to fade. Once a year, this quiet place bursts back to life as locals, stockmen, grey nomads and descendants gather to play cricket on a desolate, rocky oval - ensuring the town’s legacy endures. ​ Ghost Town Cricket is more than a story about sport and the love of this timeless game. It’s about community, connection and resilience. It follows those who return not for trophies, but to rekindle the soul of a place that shaped them - and to honour the memories that still linger in the rubble. What begins as a quirky outback tradition becomes something much deeper - a reminder of where we’ve come from, and the quiet power of coming back. Even just for one day.
