Thanks Stephen.I will take a look at your sugestion

Hi Steve L wondering if coming from our way SA .Whats best way to get to Adeles Grove.And need to book ahead cheers

Hi Lazylux

If coming from South Australia, the shortest way and the way I prefer is up through Marree, Birdsville, Bedourie, Boulia.

From Boulia, you then have 2 choices. Our intended route was to go up to Mt Isa and then straight up the dirt to Adels Grove. With heavy rain forecasted, we detoured to Winton, then to Cloncurry, Burke & Wills Roadhouse, Gregory and then to Adels Grove that way, with only 40kms of dirt from Gregory to Adels Grove.

As for booking, we booked 6 months in advance but seeing it is a big place, you can take your chances. If staying in The Grove, there are not set places, so it will not matter if you pre book or not.

We wanted to stay in the generator area, so by pre booking, we knew where our camp was going to be. I preferred the generator area, as there was large nice open sites where you could set up the solar panels to keep things charges, and if you have a generator, you can run that for extra power during the day.

We were there for 4 days, could could have stayed a lot longer, as there is such a lot to see and do.

Enjoy your trip.


Cheers


Stephen

Thanks again Stephen good info..What would you say a good time to get up there or should I say when are there minimal amount of tourists or is it really popular now.I think I missed the boat hey.But been lucky saw Kimbereleys in 97 and Bungle Bungles only a a couple campers back then.cheers What do you get around in ?If I see ya on the road be great to say hi..

Pretty sure that's where they start the annual canoe race from, Doug. Agree it's a great spot. There used to be a couple of cement slabs just out from the river too..........maybe there'd been a permanent camp there once?

Plenty of freshies around there but never saw any scalie fellars.
