So, house is sold and settlement took place yesterday........
Booked on the Spirit today for our three month "wind down" (or wind up..$1250 return) trip.
Heading up to Mungo NP, Kinchega NP and then up to
Tibooburra.Want to take in Sturt NP and Camerons corner but from here to
Innamincka is undecided.
We want to travel the most scenic route, not worried about roughness(you have to rough it to see the best spots)...so
Which way is the most scenic from Camerons corner to
Innamincka?
Also we want to head into
Coongie Lake while in the area for a few days and I noticed on the map it said no generators past
Kudriemitchie Outstation.We carry a genny but seldom use it and wouldnt use it in there but will we get "done" just for having one on board.Couple of weekends ago while camping in NP down here, bloke next to us got done for having a chainsaw in the back of his ute, never used it or even got it out but got fined for having it.

The
Bore Track is an easy run but not that all exciting. If you drive up the Old
Strzelecki Track you will see the oil and gas fields at work.
I think the No Generators and No Chainsaw Rules may not enforceable by Law. It depends on the circumstances. It may be a
bluff thing and certainly worth seeing it through in court. But I carry neither so it doesn't worry me. If you have your gennie stowed away where it cannot be seen you should be OK. Parks Rangers do not have Search Powers, methinks. Anyway if a
Ranger asked to search my vehicle I would tell him/her where to go.
Cheers

Hi Willem.
NSW Parks & Wildlife are formulating new regulations for 2009 to replace the 2002 regulations.
The proposed new regulations can be found on the NSW gov website & make very interesting reading.(
Heaven help us if these regulations are adopted).

Cheers,
Vince

Yeah Vince...I see what you mean.
Luckily I have a dog with me so NP's are off limits.

Nick, there are some nice
places to see around
Innamincka.
Go out to
the Dig Tree then take an anticlockwise loop back to
Innamincka. You will pass through a beautiful valley. Here are some pictures:

If you go past the Moomba gas field, as suggested, there's a good view from a public
lookout. Nice place to stop for a cuppa.

The
Bore Track is a great alternative too. If dry it's an easy run. There are a couple of large claypans to go through. They would not be much fun if they were wet.

Have a good trip.
