Hi all
We are intending to travel from
Cameron Corner to
Birdsville in late June via Merty Merty and the Strezlecki Track. I have read on this
forum that some of the turnoffs can be a bit tricky. Does anyone out there that has done
the tip have the GPS details for the turnoff the Strezlecki at Moomba and also the other intersections between Moomba and the
Birdsville Track.
Would appreciate any advice.
Cheers
Peter

Thanks for the useful info. Have you travelled from Moomba to the
Walkers Crossing track without having to go into
Innamincka? If so, what's it like?
Cheers

Hi,
Travelled from Moomba across to
Birdsville a couple of years ago.
Yes, can be tricky & several tracks join together anyway.
I have an Oziexplorer GPS plot if you want it ...

If you are intending to use the
Walkers Crossing then you need to keep a very close eye on the road closure report which can be accessed from this
forum. As
well getting their via the Moomba gas field back roads can certainly be challenging as they are not
sign posted. But if you use the RAA and/or Hema and even
the Desert Parks pass maps you will be able to navigate your way around.
The big question is if the Crossing is going to be open.
Check that first.

If you have a Garmin GPS, and Mapsource Software, I can supply you with the " route " we took in '07, from Innaminka thru Walker's Crossing, to
Birdsville

Thanks Bucky. We have a basic Garmin Etrex but I don't think it lends itself to software.
