walkers crossing side track

thanks for the info your the only one, is there any signage

There is a big sign saying something like Authorised vehicles only or similar.

Here is the location where is joins onto the Coongie Lakes Rd.

Coongie Lakes rd junction

27.474375,140.233643

The Red track is the Coongie Lakes Rd (The first map calls is Monteperie Rd, that must be it's old name.)
The Purple is the shortcut
The Blue is Walkers crossing. ( heading north from where the short cut joins up)

Oh, I forgot to mention. The Security guy said it is impassible if Cooper Creek is running. When we were there, there was plenty of water in the creek at the camping ground just before the lakes National Park. We were worried that it would also be like that on the short cut but it was dry as a bone.

The EO topp map on this site and the one you can buy both show the track. It shows the same error as the Hema Map, Ie showing tha tthe track crosses Lake Marrakonnamooka when it reall crosses the top of the lake. Look for the sign to Walkers Crossing when you get there - about 2k north of what the maps show.

Boobook have you sent the correct alignment (preferably a GPX track file) to David so he can update the EOTopo map?

Rod I do have it, but it is on private land and it looks like they cut a different track from time to time depending on the dunes and lake. I can't be sure the one I went on will be there in a year.

For example google sat photos show the track in the same spot as the maps, and doesn't show the one I went on further north. That was taken in 2007.

You turn due West about here -27.62111,140.105399 it is very easy to see
The maps show that you turn about here -27.660724,140.106043
That is an old track going over a big sand dune that just stops on top of the dune. It is very steep on the western side.

BTW the co-ordinates in my earlier post are in Asia somewhere, I left the - sign off.
