Hi all, just putting together an itinerary and cant figure out which way would be better to go from
Sydney to
Birdsville. We would love to see the
Cordillo Downs Shearing Shed etc but we will be leaving
Molong on Friday the 1st (very early) and want to be in/around/near
Birdsville Sunday night the 3rd. I'm thinking that is nowhere near enough time. Any suggestions on alternate routes? I have googled but no I'm just confusing myself completely :)
Cheers
Lou

Considering what you said to Mark just above here;
Go direct to
Birdsville via Drive from Obley Rd, A32,
Mitchell Hwy, Adventure Way/Bulloo Developmental Rd, and
Birdsville Developmental Rd to
Birdsville
22 h 17 min (1,734 km).
If you have time coming
home then do a side trip to
Innamincka via
Cordillo Downs and then back up to the black top and
home the way yopu came.
This would be the fastest way and I simply got it from Google Maps.
If you have more time for the trip
home, then consider
Innamincka to
Tibooburra,
White Cliffs,
Wilcannia,
Nyngan and back to
Molong. Thats 56 h (3,267 km)
Not a small trip but if you think of it - It is a bloody long way back to see what you missed.
All this straight from Google Maps.
Cheers
Phil

Lou, a big day and you could reach
Eulo via Cunamulla from where youll be. head up to Dubbo and north to
Bourke.
From
Eulo its an easy run across to Innaminka, then over
walkers crossing and up to
Birdsville on the track.
I took this route with a camper trailer, loaded for a 7 week fishing/hunting trip in the NT.
My Itinerary;
Day 1, from the Central Coast to
Eulo.
Day 2,
Eulo to
Innamincka, easy 500k drive.
Day 3,
Innamincka to
Birdsville, did this with a motor that went into limp mode a 150 times due to an air leak in the fuel filter.
Regards Mick.

Thanks Mick that sounds good,
How long did the last leg take even with the fuel filter issues ?
