TB
In Google Earth type in Eyre
Creek QLD.
You can then trace the whole of Eyre Ck. As you move your pointer over it the coords appear at the bottom L of the window.

You will find Eyre
Creek by finding the Georgina River - to the west of Mt Isa - trace it from there.
If looking for Eyre
Creek at
Birdsville you don't need a GPS - it's 38 klms west of
Birdsville to Big Red, then 24
sand dunes west of Eyre
Creek - all up about 52 klms from
Birdsville. The floodout country west of Eyre
Creek is about another 14
sand dunes or 14 kls west of that again. Still not in the
Simpson Desert but getting closer.
If you read a thread from about Thursday or Friday you will note the flood detour to the north of the QAA (30 klms north) is operating and in that thread it tells you how to cross and what to look out for.

Thanks Ruth, we are planning to circle lake Eyre , via
Innamincka,
Lyndhurst, William Ck.,
Oodnadatta, Dalhousie,
Birdsville then back to Sunshine Coast - how long do you think it is likely to take without wasting much time but still not in a rush, ta,

2 weeks will give you plenty of time
Dingo, that'll include a quick dash into
the painted desert, worth it if you haven't seen it before.
Cheers

Eyre
Creek was mid thigh high last wednesday so will most likely be very little below that at the moment. Easy crossing
well marked. Current medium. Detour is via property internal roads plus some links. Some sections heavy bulldust.
