Birdsville "Inside" track

Nigel...I travelled the inside track about 10 days ago. Had been recently graded and in pretty good condition......soft loamy soil so not packed hard but easily driveable. A few minor dunes, washouts, corrugations, twists and turns and several kilometres of rough Sturts stony desert on the southern end, overall a nice drive with no real challenges and dry as a chip. I have not travelled on your other proposed tracks in the last 12 months or so.
Then travelled north over the Warburton crossing, Warburton track, K1 line and Hay River track to Batton Hill, onwards to Jervois and Brisbane via the Plenty Highway, Donohue Highway etc.
The Warburton, K1 and Hay River whilst dry and in fairly good condition requires high clearance 4WD and desert travel experience. Apart from a few vehicles near Batton Hill, I saw only one vehicle in 3 days. The trip from Birdsville to Jervois via these tracks took me 3 1/2 days, 835 k's, and consumed fuel at the rate of 12.83 litres per 100 k for those who like statistics........my vehicle a 2005 hilux 3.0L D4D.
