South from Chambers Pillar?

Hi Cuppa I ask the station that is adjacent to Chambers pillar 2 years ago if I could access their property from the railway line Road and Hugh River Stock Road and got a big fat NO but you could try you never know your luck or you could return to the Old South Road and back to Hugh River Stock Route . The Hugh River crossing would be a very nice spot to camp for the night / lunch.

The railway line Road is theoretically belonging to the Railway and not a public access although plenty of people would use it.

You could keep traveling South along The Old South Road to Finke and back out to Kulgera.

Edit . The Old South Road I mentioned "known to by locals" is the Maryvale Road.

My old stomping ground happy travels

Hi Nick, thanks, I had a feeling, perhaps a vague memory from past discussions that many of those roads/tracks were not accessible. :(

Yes we are heading south. Going into Alice today to restock & possibly get new tyres if we can. Then down to Chambers Pillar via Maryvale rd, as we haven't been there before . Previously came up from Oodnadatta via Mt Dare & Old Andado. Road currently closed just north of Old Andado.

Heading to Adelaide to get a couple of things done there (& maybe new tyres if we cant get them in Alice. The tyre place we spoke with in Alice 10 or 12 days ago has been uncontactable since that storm went through,
(We were at Tower Rock at the time & got a bit of weather, but nothing like they had in Alice. Stayed there for 8 days to let roads dry out & left 2 mornings ago. Probably should have waited longer as the drive out was 'interesting', but we made it.

Not sure whether the Maryvale road has had much rain.

After Adelaide , back home to Victoria for a short (hopefully) time to get a few things done & then over to Tassie for a year or so. Currently negotiating a house sit over there for the winter months, with a view to touring before & after.
