Old Strzelecki Track

That track was bulldozed through in the mid 1980's and was a shortcut to Cameron's Corner from the southern end of the Strezlecki Track, bypassing Merti Merti. It was actively promoted by SA tourism at the time.

But nobody maintained it. We travelled most of its length in about 1991 and there were a lot of washed out sections and some largish dunes with sharp lips at the north east end.

Not worth the effort in my opinion.

No, that road is overgrown and has access has been closed by Merty Merty Station.

There was some research done by Mikee5 on this last year and posted on this forum. Do an archive search and you might find the thread.

Hi HD,

Willem beat me to it. I made the enquiries and Merty Merty told me the track was not open. However, on our run down the Strzelecki we did turn north onto this track (marked with 43km on Phil’s photo above). The first couple of Kays is open and used by road works, there is a big cutting with water in it off to the west of the creek bed and we camped near there. The track looks like it continued but we didn’t go any further. I also looked on Google Earth and it seems to go through but I don’t reckon the guys at Merty Merty would be happy if you came through their back yard.
