Hi All,
We are heading up the Strez at the start of July and will be going from Arkaroola to
Innamincka in a day (weather permitting).
I am considering going on the Old Stezlecki Track from Merty Merty onwards as I have read it is more interesting than the new track.
I am wondering if the "old" track will slow our progress much or can we expect to drive at similar speeds to the "new" track?
We will be travelling in a fully loaded NT Pajero but won't be towing anything.
Thanks in advance, Lloyd

Lloyd, from our late April return trip down part of the Strz and Old Strz, the Old Strz is far better overall, less potholes, corros, bulldust, and you don't have a heap of b-doubles making progress slow and very dusty.
Even towing it'd be more comfortable, and probably add 1/2 hr to the drive.
It's not as picturesque as I had imagined when I looked at the map and saw it roughly follows / crosses the Strz Ck, but still better than the heavy traffic on the main route.
