Simpson Disappointment, now Coopers Ferry

Geoff,

Will be there providing it is not too wet and raining.

Will probably camp on the Maree side to ensure that we can get out early on the Thursday, probably just taking swags.

As we will have been driving for about 9 hours on the Monday, do you recommend any particular camping spot to make it easier on our arrival?

Russ

Coming in from the maree side go to the right before the ferry and follow the creek around for about 2 to 3 km and there is a nice sheltered lagoon.

It is boggy so follow the previous car tacks (no tack as such)

We were there early Jul;y and no wind, cold though, and the sun rise and set were un beeeleaveable

Going back for a week end in Nov

Hi Russ,

We took the advice from other previous posts on this forum and camped near the "normal" crossing of the Cooper creek - coming from Maree keep heading straight rather than taking the detour to the ferry and once you get to the Cooper head to the left, plenty of good campsites there. One tip - drive a km or so rather than camp with the crowds near the Birdsville track.

Sounds like there has been plenty more recent rains so be cautious around the boggy areas, and have a great time!

Cheers,
Geoff

Whoops - got my left's and right's mixed up. Head to the RIGHT once you get to the Cooper. Sorry.

Thanks Jim.

Go power.

Thanks, Sunday week and I will be worried.

If I have it correct, you are at Etadunna, would appreciate some feedback as the time gets closer.

I finish work at 11.30pm Sunday week, will try to get a few hours sleep then heading straight up, but if it is wet and muddy, will reconsider.

Thanks.
