Birdsville

hi rob depending on when you go we were up there in july just after the school holidays and it was quiet but do,nt forget birdsville is the main point to to travel accross the simpson so can be very busy at times cheer.s mate peter

Not very commercialised - one pub, two servos and a camping ground. Add on a museum (great) and a coffee shop and that's about the commercial development of Birdsville. As said before, the camping ground and pub are busy during winter school holidays.

yep I agree, its not very commercialised at all. I was up there for the races lasy year and even the museum is very "aussie", a shed full of stuff and a few smiling faces to say gidday!

So many places to go!
So much work to do :0(

G'Day Rob,

I'm from Birdsville and I don't think it has become too commercialised at all. You'll still get great outback hospitality wherever you go. Whats changed then? We'll the facilities have improved out of sight and access to essential services like phone, internet, accomodation, etc. There are a few more attractions but most importantly for visitors there is a lot more readily available information about what to see and do and the history of the area.

Hope you make it up there again soon

Sould have elaborated a bit. Looking at heading up to the races, went back in 89 then again in 95. Somewhat different,did change imo over those years and did become what I call more commercialised, more accessible and unfortunately more d##ckheads.

Whats it like now?? Has the Side shows, ferris wheels and fairy floss replaced Fred Brophys boxing troupe??

Cheers

Rob
