G'day there!
I'm doing some very preliminary planning of a trip in September and October, doing the outback first and then heading for the southern coast.
Travelling in a Rodeo 2WD trayback ute in company with a Landrover 4x4.
Last year we successfully went from
Broken Hill to
Cameron Corner via the dog fence (not actually on the dog fence track, that's illegal) and wouldn't mind heading west from
Cameron Corner.
At Lake Boolka on the dog fence.
So my questions are:
1) Would I get through the Strzlecki Track from
Cameron Corner to the
Oodnadatta Track?
2) I'm thinking the
Oodnadatta track to the Borefield Road would be OK. Correct? I could then go down Borefield Road to
Roxby Downs. (Might need to go to Roxby for fuel, anyway).
3) Would I get through
Oodnadatta Track and
Oodnadatta Road to
Coober Pedy?
And yes, I do realise this is a major undertaking even in a big fourby, with a long way between fuel stops and drinks.
We won't be in a hurry so can wait a week if it should rain.
Of course, anything can happen with the weather between now and September. I'm asking the questions on the assumption that it will be a normal season (if there's such a thing any more).
Salt at
Lake Torrens.
An alternative for us may be to return to
Broken Hill from
Cameron Corner, via the highway, and then go up through the
Flinders Ranges and around the top of
Lake Torrens.
I'd appreciate the benefit of experience.
Thanks,
Laurie.
