Tibooburra to Birdsville

Hi I am not sure if they are open we are expecting rain this afternoon and my neighbor runs a station up that way and was in town Friday and said it has been a wet week for him
he got sick of staying in motels every time they come to town so they bought the house next door so when they come to town it is a much easier
Not sure when you plan on cumming up this way but we have had some good rain but they still expect to run out of drinking water early next year both dams are now dry

it does not take much rain to close the roads here

Hi Greg

You did not say what way you intended to get to Birdsville?

I can only let you know road conditions for outback South Australia, and it is not good, every dirt road noth of Marree is totally closed, with the only small section of track between Cameron Corner and the Strezelecki Tack open, but north and south from there closed.

I know locals from Clare that are heading up to the Big Red Bash and have had to go the long way via Broken Hil, Bourke and all bitumen roads to get anywhere near the area.

Seeing that the Cordillo Downs Road is also closed, it might be the same right through southern Queensland.


All the best and hope that you find a way there.



Cheers

Sorry cannot help re Tibbo,
. bu t from what I can see on the QLD and SA road reports the only way into Birdsville at present is via . Windorah .
the development road between quilpie and windorah was opened to high clearance vehicles today.
I am heading to the big bash in a few days and had planned on going via Hungerford but the whole sw qld is plenty wet so its blacktop to Charlieville then across. Even Cunnamulla to Quilpie via Eulo is out and its tar all the way..
cheers

There doesn't seem to be much rain in that area at the moment so roads would be expected to improve.

Cheers,
