Has anyone been down this track in the last few weeks?... Is it open all the way and what condition is it in?
Are all the sand dunes still available to cross and have they filled in all the deep holes?

There are actually 2 "parts" to the
Border Track. South from the Mildura/
Renmark road to
Pinnaroo, and South from
Pinnaroo towards Bordertown. These are rather different, the first being relatively easy (I towed a camper trailer Northwards up that a few weeks ago, camped at the Shearers Shed
campground - beautiful). Prior to that went for a day trip South throught Northern Ngarkat centre track. The second
Border Track can be somewhat harder, with some sections North/South only, but even after the rain earlier that week one group of 6 vehicles I met at
Pinnaroo said it was OK (ha dbeen closed earlier in the week). Ngarkat & Scorpion Springs etc. are looked after by the National Parks & Wildlife rangers at
Lameroo. They are really helpful, have free maps/newslpaper etc. Have all the details at
home (phone Nos. etc) , not at work/lunch here. There is also an EXCELLENT book by 2 local ladies, school teachers who marries local farmers, go history, local family stories/legends, flora & fauna, about 16 detailed mud maps etc., of the area. Called Murray Tracks or similar, costs abot $30 but
well worth it. If want more info email robk@vondebt.com.au and I'll look it up.
