Hi All
We are new to this
forum, and are going from
Birdsville to
Innamincka in mid Aug.
Any comments in relation to
Walkers Crossing vs
Cordillo Downs would be appreciated.
Tom and Pat

An amazing thing happened about three weeks ago - the
Cordillo Downs Road was graded from
Innamincka up to the road from
Windorah - how about that! Makes it a very enjoyable drive. (
Walkers Crossing is shorter, different country) and then there is the Arrabury Road (Queensland side) - going up from
the Dig Tree - very rough at the present time.

I've done both, one or twice but enjoyed the CDT more - "the reason is the season" probably ! The CDT was lush (in outback terms) following rains when we were there - that, contrasted with the striking red sand dunes makes for wonderful
views. Our last drive a few years back on the WCT was somewhat dull - dry as an arab's sandal and desolate. The above can be fully reversed by weather in 6 months up there, as others have mentioned ! Have a great drive.
