I inquired recently about the Marlinga to Emu track. And was told that it is closed. Which is the same
information that appears on the permit application form.
However, a rather lengthy alternate route was suggested. Here is the description of it:
"You can, if you do the tour, use the
Lake Dey-Dey Rd (
Maralinga to
Oak Valley) to hook up with the
Cook-Volkes
Hill Road, then up to the Anne-Beadell and then head east to
Coober Pedy. "
Does anyone have any experience with this route? It is definitely a very long way around to get to Emu!

Hi Candance S
Our group traveled from
Coober Pedy west along the Anne Beadell Hwy three weeks ago , once past
Mabel Creek Station the track is very very corrugated and not much fun.
You will pass a relatively new abandoned GIC camper trailer by the side of the track with a broken axle.
Once you hit
Voakes Hill Cnr and start heading south the track is quite good,also
note that there are a lot of new exploration tracks in the area.From
Hill Corner to Koolkoona
dam the track does a long bypass around the native wells (Churina and Bringyna).
Cheers
