bore ttrack entrance

Burnsy,

I don't have access to maps showing lat and long for that area at the moment but does that track come to the bend where the CC to Merty Merty track turns north.

I spent some time looking for that track about 7 years ago. There used to be a black and yellow portable roadwork type barricade across a track in that area. It was apparently a reasonable shortcut years ago and came to the Strz just north of the Strzlecki Creek.

I spoke with a guy who runs tours in that area and he said that he had used it but that it was pretty rough and it was quicker to follow the main road. As far as I am aware it has not been used since before the end of 2002. My guess is that it is no longer a viable option for anyone other than someone pretty serious about getting off the beaten track. Maybe one for Willem to look at.

So Shane,

If that is the track you are asking about no, I don't think it is an option for you. Go up to Merty Merty and follow the main road. But that track is not the Bore Track. The Bore Track goes north through Bollards Lagoon Station which is about 8km west of CC, It comes out on the Innamincka - Nappa Merrie Rd about 20min or 30min east of Innamincka.

Hope this all helps

Davo 60 is right.
If you cut & paste the coordinates I gave you into google earth you can see the track. It leaves the south side of strez creek travels northish for a few km to a tee intersection where you can go west to strez creek or east on towards Cameron's corner where the road again turns north to meet the Merty Merty to Cameron's corner road about where it turns sharply north.
We travelled it last a couple of years ago & it was fine 2wd track.
It's a good shortcut if coming from the south.
As others have said this is not what is known as the bore track, It starts at Bollards lagoon station and heads north.

You jogged my memory.

Yes I do remember what I think was a road closed sign lying beside the Cameron's corner end of this track.

Now I'm totally confused. We've got one bloke coming up from the south and another from the east! Tiboobura is not all that far, but it's unlikely I'd call it a short cut from the Strzelecki to Bollards.

LOL
