There is a lot of water coming down and I do not know how fare it has travelled and how close it is to Innamincka.

Hot and flies. The Cooper was due about now to cut the road at the 14km flood zone near Ballerra, So I expect that wont cause you issues but the Heat and flies will.

I'd phone the Innamincka pub or the trading post and ask.

We spent Xmas/New Year with our family at Innamincka about 15 years ago. Had a great time - sure it was 40+ degrees and lots of flies, but we spent a lot of time in the waterholes, and in the afternoon, we'd head down to the pub - had it mostly to ourselves. New Years eve at the pub was a hoot too.

Cheers

Yep re Phil's suggestion on phoning locals for the latest - the Trading Post should be a good source too. I know some can enjoy the heat but I've been there too when it was around 40C and with the flies literally on the attack from first light, I found it 'a challenge'...... and that was April (a late summer cycle).... not January :-o).

As SA road site says still doable from your end. We were planning Brisbane to Birdsville then down the track for a ferry ride, but Quilpie to Windorah is no go,so will head to Innaminka and down the Strez instead. We are heading to Coffin Bay and surrounds. Safe journey and enjoy the break.
