We're leaving on thurs to drive from Toowoomba to Innaminka and parts south. We want to travel via Windorah and then down the Planet Arrabury road with a patrol ute and camper ttrailer. Has anyone done this road recently. My copilot gps system shows the road broken, incomplete?, is this right or is this just a glitch? Any info would be appreciated.
Many thanks, Geoff

Geoff,

I wouldn't rely on the CoPilot reference out there. You may like to get an updated map before you head off.

Natmap Raster shows an intersection about 4 K north of Arrabury where the Planet Arrabury road links up with the Cordillo Road. The Cordillo Road heads in a south westerly direction directly into Innamincka.

Also about 12 K out on the Cordillo Road, there is another junction.
Straight on (west) will take you to Cordillo Downs.
Left turn at the junction will put you on the Cordillo Road to Innamincka.

13gef13,
Came up from Innamincka about 5 weeks ago. Cordillo downs road was closed but is now open. You will be fine up there with an off road trailer.
As for your GPS not showing a track we have the Magellan Explorist XL and it does not show a track north of the Dig tree & Adventure way intersection for quite some way towards Arrabury but there is definitally one there. As a previous post states get a good Map, we had the Great Desert Tracks - South East Sheet by "Hema", and it shows all the tracks in the area.
If you are looking at travelling the road from near Arrabury through past Cordillo Downs Station & up past Cadelga Outstation ruins you would need to check this track out with the Rangers from Innamincka as it had been closed for several months and we where told it could be for a long time yet
Good Luck

I have travelled down from Haddon's Corner down to the dig tree and Innaminka but it was some years ago now. About 3 or 4

It was a pleasant drive without any dramas and the road was fine then

I know, just joking, but the next thing is all blokes wanting to go to some obscure destination, orf the beeten track, will simply plug the co-ordinates into the 'puter, fuel up the turbo prop hovercraft then sit there sipping on a fine chardonay whilst the journey is completed.
But more seriously, Why dont you do what I do, take the chance and make the most of your adventure. If you get slowed down, even bogged, make the most of it.
Otherwise, boring!
Happy trips furph.
ps. Make sure you have a beer at the renovated Western Star in Windorah.
cheers furph

Geoff was on Arrabury rd from Windorah last July just after rain - nice drive with varied landscapes but got a bit complacent with this one.

Travelled from Innaminla to Birdsville via Arrabury/ Cordillo road at easter.

The section from Innaminka to Arrabury is in perfect condition.
You could nearly drive a limo on there ATM except for the odd gully & large rock on the road.
