Heading for Corner Country this weekend....

Yes free camp and donation required for the use of the showers.
Good camp spot and plenty of fish in the lake.

Big mozzies though

That's a tad expensive ;)

Andrew,
The $11 includes being able to camp for as long as you like. The 'old mate' who takes your money is full of good info and he said once you pay you can camp there till you die. We had a fantastic night there would stay for a few days if we had the time but work beckoned worse luck. The money goes towards the upkeeep and the road in It is worth the money to be able to see it rather than be locked away so no one can see it the government does not put a cent towards it. We should be thankful the the Kidman company is willing to allow us to see it and allow us to camp there and experience the Cooper

Bit more than $11 on the sign Barb ;)

I agree, it's good to see it still open for all to see....been about 25 years since i was there last, hope to get back soon.

Hi Geoff,
We also went through there last Friday.. We went down to Broken Hill on the Thursday aswell and the road was pretty bad then, it was WAY better on Friday.. I don't know how some of those vans made it through lol... Kinda makes you appreciate what you have at home when you get stuck in a small town for days when it rains..

You camped next to us at Innamincka Town common( its good to put faces to the names). We also had a Kimberley Kamper and landcruiser.
Yes the track outside the Merty station was exciting, we got stuck once because I had negleted to engage the centre diff and so with the kimberlys having overide brakes I had to get out in the 300mm deep mud and flip over the toggle so we could reverse out, its a pain at the time but a laugh later on.
We left Innamincka for Tibooburra at 10.30am on Saturday morning as the bloke at the trading post said the Thargo road would (should) be open around 10.00 then we got advice that said they wouldn't open it till monday as the authority didn't work on the weekend ( or was bleep ed off at the vehicles with vans which went to Thargo on the closed roads and stuffed up the new pre seal on the new sealed section north of the Dig Tree) then we've heard that the road opened at 11.00.
It wouldn't have mattered so much but a lot of people had to go to work on the Monday and the fact that it was OK to travel from Thargo to Innamincka on the Friday (Thargo Police OK'd this) but a $1000.00 per wheel per Km fine the other way. So there was a lot of confusion at innamincka to say the least. But I would rather keep the gravel roads as they are as they have a changing personality that helps make your adventure exiting.
So summing up it was so worth while to see the Country out there at its best and with the colours of the Dark clouds, Red Sand and green pasture together it makes you shake your head with the Beauty of the outback.

Cheers
