Hi all - me again! Am working out whether to take the 12 volt fridge or rely on the Esky (one of those good yellow ones, so keeps the ice cold for a few days)...

Anyone know whether I can rely on ice being available at Cameron Corner and Innamincka?

Ta heaps, looking forward to seeing some of you lot soon :)

Sadly I'm not going but have been in contact with a few. I'd say take everything that you can lay your hands on...by the sounds of it some are taking their Taj Mahals along and you have to have something to show off...bragging rights etc. I rekkon Willem will get sick of the diamond in the rough jokes pretty quickly...I know that I would :))
Oh and keep an eye out for flag nappers.
I'm sure that whatever you do or don't take you'll have a ball :))

From a trip a year ago I seem to remember seeing ice available in both places, but why not invest a couple of bucks in phone calls to check?

Happy travels

ps we always find it easier to sling the fridge in the back of the car rather than chasing mess in an Esky.

Thanks Max - yes, was thinking it may pay to talk to the horses mouth (so to speak) but am wary they may get sick of silly questions over the phone ;)

G'day ..
If you do take an ice box, have you tried a layer of dry ice on the bottom covered by a sheet of newspaper, then a layer of normal ice (replaced periodically). Works MUCH better. Used to use this technique up on Frazer Is in the 70's.
cheers .. G
