Desert Parks Bulletin.
...................................................................
Due to recent rain events in Queensland, large volumes of water will enter the
Cooper Creek and cause flooding of the
Innamincka areas. Visitor sites are likely to be flooded for a period of time. It is recommended to
check local conditions and contact
the Desert Parks hotline on 1800 816 078 before travelling to the area. The flood waters are expected to arrive approx. 1st March, causing the
Innamincka Crossing to be closed for about 3-4 weeks. Expect road closures through the area as water levels rise.
PLEASE
CHECK ROAD CONDITIONS IN THE AREA PRIOR TO TRAVEL

That is not great news for me. As I've indicated in another thread, I head out from the
Gold Coast on April 4 and will arrive
Innamincka on April 8th. Now maybe things will have subsided by then but I was going to use
Walkers Crossing to get to
Birdsville and I believe that it floods very easily. Can anyone enlighten me on this?
