Bore Track from Cameron's Corner to Innamincka

It's a shame it's closed Val. We did it north to south after a EO gathering at Innamincka some years back. We only saw two vehicles on it all day! A great drive... and those giant clay pans are something else ! Michael

Shame? Yes Michael.
I love the drive on the Bore Track partly because it passes through a Santos area, Toolachee, where I lived and worked for 6 months or so constructing a satellite gas processing plant.

The Southern section of the Bore Track traversing Bollard's Lagoon Station has been closed by the station due to the poor behaviour of travellers. And there's the real shame.

The Northern section in the Innaminka Regional Reserve is open again after being closed for a couple of years, however it is a dead-end, you have to back-track to get out. Even that would be a good drive. There are some side roads from it belonging to Santos that will return you to the Strzelecki but you are not welcome to travel them and may get challenged. I suggest that if you were so challenged that you remain unassertive, plead lost and respectfully ask for guidance. It almost certainly will get you a good result.

Allan,

From my memory the northern section of the bore track through the Innamincka Regional Reserve was very poorly maintained and was slow going. The section through Bollards Lagoon was excellent and it is a pity some thoughtless mongrels have spoiled it for the majority of travelers.
We traveled the whole length South to North, also heading up to the National Gathering at Innamincka a few years ago.

Also came back along the old Strez Track as far as Merty Merty which was a good drive, away from the main drag.

Yes Bill,
I doubt that the section through the Reserve was maintained at all in general, but it was a nice drive and being slow-going gave you time to look around. Santos uses some sections of it and may maintain those although I never saw it. The Toolachee satellite plant runs unattended but Santos also use it as a maintenance base.
I found the Bollard's Lagoon section a bit boring but easy.
The Station used the track to go to Innamincka sometimes but mostly I believe they go to Leigh Creek for supplies.

Even though I "knew" Bollard's Lagoon Station management (sort of) I was refused permission to travel on the Track after it closed.

The Old Strez is good too, most times.
