Border Track

they are still there or were last easter
they are mostly at the bottom (sth) end of the big desert section.
some were 1.8mts deep, i have never seen such bog holes before and would be very interesting when full of water as you would not expect such a hole under the water!

G'day Gossy - they are at the very very end of the south track. Most people either turn left or right to head home ( or elswhere ) around red bluff. They are also on the very left of the track as some people tend to veer right and take the Kentucky Fried route ! Suggestion - don't drive thru them unless there is someone else there to pull you out, especially if they have a fair bit of water in them !

Cheers and Beers

Ah, that could be why. We cut in West early when on the sthn part and spent the night in the camp grounds, then came out onto the highway via Gosse Hill.

next time I'm down there I'll keep heading sth. Agree, not keen to drive thru them but would be interesting to see them at least.

Cheers,

There were a series of big bog holes at the northern end of the Border Track up until about 8 years ago. My understanding is the Army went through one winter & left a bit of a mess. 4x4 club vollunteers together with Parks filled them in & at the same time bypassed a couple of the bigger dunes as well. As an additional thankyou SA Parks then put a summer closure on the one way section of track further restricting access. The remnants of those bogholes can be found south of Red Bluff on the Victorian side but be careful when they are full as can be seen by this shot from 2002.
