Cooper to flow across Birdsville Track in Feb/Mar

Maybe, but it takes an awful lot of water to get through Coongie lakes to cross the track. I've been out there after alot of water at Windorah but it never made it over the track.

It reached Lake Hope in 2004 after large rains.
Last time it crossed Birdsville Track was 2000 from memory.
Takes a heap of water for it to reach the Birdsville Track.

As long as the Birdsville Track is dry-ish by Sept/Oct...I'll be happy. Don't think the Captiva likes mud too much.

Hi Dean
Like all have said above, it takes a very lot of water to reach the crossing on the Birdsville Track. I personally know the managers out at Etadunna and they were only down the other week. They were say that they have had good rain up that way, the country was quite green, but they had not stock to eat the fresh feed. I would have thought that they would have mentioned it if they thought that it was going to be a problem. Do not worry, the wet weather detour is through their station, so you can still get through even when there is water over the Birdsville Track. Even before then, it still has to fill Lake Killamperpunna before finally spilling over the crossing.


Cheers

Is easter the bronco branding or is its may this year? They said there is something on at easter so you might want to plan your accom. Also if your captiving throw a 20l in the boot - petrol stops are few and far between!

My monies on the Cooper but I reckon it's going to take some more rain
