We are wanting to travel from
Melbourne to
Birdsville for the races on the 4th & 5th of Sept. We are leaving on the 29th of Aug. and want to travel via the
Strzelecki Track to
Innamincka. We are travelling in a 2WD Mitsubishi Triton, towing an off road camper trailer(500kg). Reading a lot of posts here, it seems the road conditions will be suitable to
Innamincka, but from there on not to sure which way to go. On the way back, we would like to travel to
Tibooburra via Merty Merty, Cameron's Corner. Can anyone please advice if this is suitable, or another alternate route to get to
Tibooburra.
Thanks
Leo

Hi Leo
Take the
Walkers Crossing Track. This is a good track, the last 10 kilometres or so is very slow going out to the
Birdsville Track, in general a very easy and good drive providing it is dry. If you take the
Cordillo Downs Road, the track will shake your car to pieces. This road has always been a real shocker.
Enjoy the races.
Cheers
Stephen

Hi
I did
Walkers crossing track two weeks ago from
Birdsville and there was quite few soft sandy sections that may be difficult in a 2WD towing a camper.
Also
check distance to turn off from
Birdsville as the only
sign is
well back from road.
Regards
Bob
