I am heading up to
Innamincka tomorrow and I have heard that the track is very rough this year. Has anyone been on it recently? Also I see that the Old
Strzelecki Track is closed. Does anyone know why? It's usually easier going than the
Strzelecki track.
Regards,
Bob

G'day Robert,
Where'd you see that closed info on the Old Strz ?
It was all clear late April when we did it.
I have read numerous reports of others doing it since.
Have heard it is sometimes closed for gas / fuel line and other
infrastructure works.

Thanks Les,
I saw it on this site under road conditions. I thought it was a bit strange. I just followed the link on the road conditions page and it is being decommissioned. I went to the DPTI site and it doesn't show the Old Strez. I am not sure where to go now.
Regards,
Bob

To All,
Just in case anyone is still following this thread, the Strezlecki Track was pretty good. A bit rough and rocky to Frome Creek, a bit sandy after that, and really good from Murnpeowie onwards for a long way. I went via the Old Strez from Merty Merty and that was a bit rough in patches but apparently a lot better than the Dillon Hwy. The road out to the
bridge is the best it has been for a few years. We have had three feeds of Yellowbelly since I have been here. We won't be fishing for the next few days because we have enough for a while. Very few yabbies and shrimp.
Regards,
Bob
