Sydney To Birdsville (Races) route to take.

Hi Broken Hill had a wet start to winter but have not had any rain for many many weeks not and so far apart from some cold starts it has averaged out at many days or between 17 and 19 .

So what it will be like when it is time for the race no one knows road conditions change so quickly all you need is one decent down pour and all roads north are closed

Hi Tom

Generally that section will be the least of your worries, the road is usually in good condition based on dry weather conditions. Whenever we travel to or from the Corner Country we travel this way rather than heading north to Bourke.

You can do Sydney > Louth, in a day, but it is a long one!

Sydney > Cobar> Louth> Wanaaring> Tibooburra.

When going north from Tibooburra, the quickest and possibly more scenic route is to head through Toona gate, travelling via Omicron and Epsilon and into Innamincka . Conditions are good (dry weather) and fine for either vehicle, distance is only 300klms this way. There is plenty of road activity from the gas and oil interests closer to Innamincka

And a quicker run into Birdsville is via the Walkers Crossing Track which is in fair condition (no better / worse than other tracks) and less corrugated than via Cordillo Downs.

Enjoy…
