Birdsville Races

Heya Tom, cool mate.
We came down to Inna via Walkers Crossing, not sure what Cordillo way is / was like, as I haven't done that route before (will do it one day, need to see that shearing shed !).

I think the Strz Tk has many more corros (then the BV Tk) at the moment from the brief bit we did from Inna to Mt Hopeless, also the truck traffic is much higher up to Inna, B doubles etc, lots of dust.
We came down the Old Strz Tk to Merty Merty too, and avoided a lot of this, not as rough or bulldust either.

The races would be great all right, but 7000+ people ?
Suppose the atmosphere would be great, but get there early to get a good spot if camping on the river, I expect accom and cara pk would get booked out pretty quick.

If I do it one year, I reckon I'd fit in the 3 events of the Desert Race Carnival (I think it's Betoota fist, then BV, then Bedourie) to make a trifecta trip of it.

Moreso getting a spot to camp Tom.
Not much accom in town, fairly big camping area at the cara park, but I feel it would fill petty quick (or be crowded and facilities under pressure).
Which leaves areas along the Diamantina River, first in best camped :)
