Cook is a small, remote locality in South Australia, situated approximately 831 kilometers northwest of Adelaide along the iconic transcontinental railway line. Known primarily as a railway siding, Cook serves as a vital stop for the Indian Pacific train, which connects Sydney and Perth. The town has a transient population, largely consisting of railway workers and occasional visitors, with minimal permanent residents. Its arid desert landscape and isolation make it a quintessential outback destination, offering a unique glimpse into Australia's vast and rugged interior. Despite its size, Cook holds historical significance as a testament to the country's railway heritage.
