Birdsville Track

The Birdsville Track runs south from Birdsville to Maree and passes through the Sturt Stony Desert. It is an extremely remote region but is strikingly beautiful in its harshness.

Hi all
I am trying to pin down the location of the Page family grave site off the Birdsville Track.
In particular coordinates would be great.
Cheers 4 now

Mike,
Access is not simple which is why people drive around for ages and don't find it. I've emailed you a plot of how to get there. Below is a the blue track file on the 250k map to show you where to turn off the Birdsville track, so you have to approach the grave site from the south:

The Grave site was upgraded sometime in the past year from memory.

Cheers
