Tracks to North of Barmera?

PS: would welcome any alternative suggestions from any of the locals.

I have already been to the quarry near Morgan and the run down the Border from Renmark. I have heard there is a 4WD track at Danggali but it is not obvious on the map (there are lots marked) and it may be a bit far in the heat?

Uncle Des (Des Lexic), the Donut Muncher lives nearby.

Hopefully he will still be awake and see your post

My RAA Map of the Riverland doesnt show much but there is the Old Coach Road to Renmark. The map however states No Vehicle Access so it must be station property. Theren't many challenging tracks around the Riverland unless it rains.

It is still going to be warm next week. have fun

Hi Trevor.
I did a trip out that way a couple of years back. I turned left Just out of Burra, went through the stations and was going to go right through to dangalli but had a bit of car trouble and had to head for the black top, which brought me out just past Morgan. To tell you the truth there is not much out there especially when it's bloody hot. You might be better of going for a drive through the Murray Sunset National Park. Its a bit more of a drive but well worth it, at least you have the river to cool of. You can download a map from the Vic parks website

Yawn!!! I'm awake now. It's going to be around 43 Sat and Sunday. Those tracks are more interesting in winter when the grass is greener. Damn hot and dry at the moment.
You could do a drive up to the Old Customs House out on the Murtho Road then have a look the view at Headings Cliff back towards Renmark and back into Paringa to have a look at the Loch. It's all bitumen unless you take the Lindsay Point Rd heading East to the Border Track and follow it down to the highway. All possible in a sedan. If you cross the main Highway, you could do a bit more of the Border Track to say the Taplan Gate and head back into Loxton. Road isn't too challenging but a little rough and corrugated. The sanddunes being dry will be fairly soft and I wouldn't try them in your car.
The tracks at the back of Barmera will take you through low salt bush scrub and nothing worth looking at.
The old Wentworth Rd has a few diversions heading back down to he river that can be interesting but too many to give accurate directions
I won't be around over the weekend but have good fun anyway.
If you hired some canoes from a bloke at Barmera, kids would have more fun paddling around Chambers Creek. He is just up from the camping shop on the Southern Side of the Highway.
