Not sure where in the great southern you are, but just using Katanning as a starting point:

Katanning -> Birdsville (Norseman/PortAugusta) = 3096
Katanning -> Birdsville (Alice/Boulia) = 3860

It's still 2500km+ from Norseman via the south approach.

If you're towing, the BV Track *may* still be out of bounds when you reach Marree. Probably not, but by then your goose is browning nicely and your options are zilch.

Having been both ways TBH from here in Perth I'd personally go via Boulia.

Birdsville Facebook Page is as good as you'll get.

A list of links to all the road resources you need.

Hi Doug,

Checkout the Birdsville Hotel Facebook page, or better still, give them a call. They have the best experience in determining which and for how long the roads are likely to be closed for.

Macca.

The Birdsville track in SA is open to all vehicles with caution, the Diamantina Bridge crossing at Birdsville is open to 4WD & High clearance. The inside track is closed.
