Bore Track Feedback

The Bore Track via Bollards Lagoon is without doubt one of the best days riding I enjoyed on my DR650 Suzuki over a 10500 km total tour. Travelling from Cameron's Corner to Innaminka was just less than 200 km of winding single lane track of mainly light sand with some gravel patches. On the way I did not encounter another vehicle which added to the attraction and serenity. Changing landscape made the track interesting and the diversity is quite remarkable. You will encounter long wide mud flats with a firm surface (recent weather considered), winding single lane sandy tracks that meander small dunes and encircle rocky outcrops and barely recognisable tracks through knee high shrubs. For bikers you will need to be confident in sand, there's plenty of it. My tip for you is to stand on the pegs with weight back and soft hands on the grips plus plenty of throttle to let the bike skip over the sand. I was whooping with delight most of the way! For 4WD I expect the pace will be slower and some challenges but nothing that will leave you stranded so long as there has been no recent rain. Following the Bollards Mud Map is easy but along the way you will need to read the smallish directional signs at various intersections. Compared to the alternative routes travelling in the same direction this is by far the best with less wear on your bike or 4wd and no threats to your tyres. For motorbike enthusiasts I would say this is a chance in a lifetime and if you are in this vicinity, don't miss it. My only caveat on the advice given was that rain could alter this description significantly. There are several long sections of mud flats that would be a considerable challenge in the wet but I'm sure the Bollards people will advice accordingly. Bikes are only charged only $5 payable at the Bollards Station, 4WDs are $10.
