Is Birdsville Track open

G'day Adey

As you mentioned, SA roads website indicates that Birdsville track is still open to 4WD's. As per attached link, Marree has had about 14mm of rain but Birdsville 0.

Elders weather Marree

Suggest you check SA roads website first thing tomorrow morning & maybe ring Mungerannie Pub tonight (08 8675 8317) to get some local knowledge on possibility of track being closed tomorrow ??

Just be careful, we got caught at the ferry the other day when the front came through as the wind was too strong whipping up waves on the cooper which stopped the ferry running.
We were then faced with the decision to wait it out 12, 24,36? hours till it ran again and the prospect of being stuck there when the rain came. We headed south and just made it to Marree before the weather, others weren't so lucky.
AFAIK the track is still open to 4wd's but very muddy at the bottom end as is the bit between Marre and Lyndhurst.
The bottom of the Oodnadatta track was closed but is open again now, Roxby to the Oodna track is still closed at the moment
