Regarding post 12655

Dunno what happened but I missed out on the yabbies.Ruth was going to cook some but that process got waylaid. When some were offered to me at a later date I was sucking on a big chocolate thickshake and the yabbies seemed uninviting...so there will probably be some left for you when you get up there.

Cheers

Chocolate Thicksake in Birdsville. Wow thats a interesting thing.
Tell us the story Willem, did Ruth make it or was it flown in by someone just for you. LOL.

I had the Chocco at another shop in Birdsville but Ruth makes a mean Cuppacino!!!!!

Rohan,

Let me have your email addy through my website and when I have written up my story I will send you a copy.

Because of the dry conditions few roads are being graded.
White Cliffs to Tibooburra road is heavily corrugated. If you take the Middle Road through Sturt NP, part of that road has been graded recently. Bore Track is an easy run...could do it in a HZ Holden Ute. They expect Walkers Crossing to be closed for some months still.

Drop in for a cuppa when passing through Peterborough

Cheers

When are you heading out ?
Vince

September we are going - not sure of the exact date. Are you going Vince
Andrew

Yes Andrew, but at the end of june. I let you know how we go if you like.

My friend Andrew

Bore Track can be done in a 2wd. Met a bloke towing a small caravan on the track. But if it rains you are history on the track. Halfway along the track a lot of the signs have been stolen so a compass and some bush sense will come in handy.

Regards

PS Andrew, There are no restrictions on travelling the Bore Track. It is just something which National Parks and Santos have devised to try and keep people out of the area. And are there some gas wells !!!!!!!!!

Mac,

There are some camping spots at creek crossings(all dry) between White Cliffs and the Tibooburra Road. You can also camp in the scrub along the creek at Milparinka. After that there is a NP camp at Olive Downs( Middle Road through Sturt NP) and also at Fort Grey(Sturt NP). Honesty Box applies :-) First half of Middle Road is reasonable and the second half freshly graded. Met the bloke working on the Dog Fence at Cameron Corner on Wednesday. A young fella driving a new white Hilux.

The Broken Hill/Tibooburra Road is something else with 5km bitumen and 10km dirt patches following one another. The dirt on that road is pretty ordinary. My old bus is a bit of a rattletrap so you might find the going easier in a more modern 4by.

White Cliffs CP is run by the Council and costs $4 per person for an unpowered camp site. You may also light a fire in the CP

Cheers

No garentees but if your interested ring so of the stations and ask if they will swap beef for good ham you have not tasted beef until you have had saltbush beef, if you do this make sure it is good ham not wollies

frank

if you are stopping at stations have some things that they do not get like ham of course but fresh bread and some magazines for the women folk they have all the beer they want already even current papers are good
and some books remember it is isolated out there

G'day Undertaker,

You must have your wires crossed somewhere. My trailer has slipper spings...not the G60. My springs are 9, I think...but I am not going out there to count them now. Will look tomorrow and if there are more will tell you. Even with 230lt of fuel on board and all the tucker and recovery gear the old truck does not sag.

Cheers

goodday willem just a quick question when we went to tibooburra and cameron corner a couple of years ago there were big signs that it was illegal to travel the dog fence have these bans been dropped or can you get permission to do these areas now .the reason given was that several fencers had been hurt with 4bs popping over hills and running into them
