I recall reading somewhere that you need to contact
Cordillo Downs station to arrange to get into the shed. I cant find anything on the internet including here to confirm that.
Does anyone know if it is necessary or can you just drop in to the shed?

as said above...no need to ask permission, it's easily accessed by a service road from the main road running past it. When you come from
Birdsville end you come to a
Y junction, the road running to the left has a large
sign saying it's private property (or something along those lines so you know to keep out), the road to the right is what you take to continue on. from memory there's a
gate or 2 there somewhere about the
homestead area, and further on is a small track running off to the left of about 100 mtrs which is where you go to park at the signboard and then walk to the shed itself.

We went through there 4 weeks ago, from
Innamincka, and did not see another vehicle the entire trip. !st vehicle was about 50km out of
Windorah. Road was ok, just got to be careful in the dry
creek crossings as there was a
rock hidden in the dust on one of them. Shed was worth the visit but only the outside shell left. Spent the night at Cadelga
Ruins, nice spot.
