Our trip from <span class="highlight">Noccundra</span> Hotel to the Strzelecki Track.

Just got back home after 3 weeks journeying from Brisbane to Adelaide and back. This time we went via Noccundra and Cameron Corner to the Strzelecki Track. I aired down a bit at Noccundra because we expected the leg from Noccundra to the Corner to be difficult towing the caravan. The track was pretty good and we were able to motor along at about 50 kph and never needed 4WD. The other side of the Corner to Merty Merty is like a roller coaster with a lot of short sharp sand hills to cross. Most are clay topped and aren’t a problem but some of the crests have broken through the top and have large holes full of soft sand. Most of these have a red flag in them as a warning. Before we came to the damaged sections I heard on the CB a guy saying how there were soft areas and to keep to the right of the flag. As he was very clear, I asked where he was. By the time we had worked out he was coming towards us we met on the crest of a hill and yes he was to the right – on our side of the track. I then asked how many were in his convoy and he said 4. Two others safely passed while he was telling them there was one oncoming. The last vehicle then came over another blind hill on the wrong side and a female voice complained on the CB that the leader had not told her about oncoming cars, to which I replied that they should expect an oncoming vehicle over every blind hill and drive accordingly. The rest of the trip was uneventful except for me bogging the whole rig in a creekbed in the Flinders while looking for somewhere to camp, which took us an hour to unbog. The only damage on the whole trip was inside the caravan where a curtain pelmet came unscrewed from the wall.
