David,
I work in the oil and gas industry in "corner country". As far as I am aware the company I work for has not made any official "discouragement to drive in the area". There are many public roads in the area,
Bore Track, Strez track, Della Road to
innamincka and public roads through Southwest Queensland as
well. I know the Road Reports section in the
Adelaide Advertiser newspaper makes the statement about discouraging use of the
Bore Track due to petroleum industry activities. there has been patroleum activities going on the area for 40 years and will continue for many years. My company has it's own road network and the
bore track is not used often and seldom maintained. most traggic you will come across if any is landcruisers and the occassional road train. Common sense to driving in this area is the norm. I have also heard that Bollards lagoon charges a $10 fee for
Bore Track access from their end. Have a good trip, this time of year, bring a fly net!
