Ok, i know this question was asked on here about 2 years ago but i am pretty sure no difinitive answer was able to be given. Aparently there is a track that runs between the Srtzelecki Trk and the road that runs from Merty Merty to Cameron Cnr, however the best i can find is a trk that starts at -28° 56' 36.68", +140° 7' 1.53 and runs parallel to the Strzelecki Ck up to Merty Merty. The one im thinking of runs almost directly E to W cutting out that whole loop north and south again.
Would really appreciate it if anyone has co-ordinates or a log file of this track they could share with me. I am planning on heading out there in August and if found and successfully navigated i will be uploading the trek file onto here for future reference.
Cheers,
Tony.

I drove this track in July, having been alerted to its existence by another traveller. It was reportedly less cut up on the wet weather than the main track.
When I drove it (in both directions - we stayed at
Cameron Corner overnight) it was certainly in better condition than that part of the main track from
the junction through to
Cameron Corner. The report I was given indicated that there was some deep mud on the main track at that time.
To help you find it, its eastern end joins the main track at end at S28.81359 E140.26428. Its western end leaves the
Strzelecki Track at S28.96764 E140.12902 (both waypoints taken from my GPS track). I'm sending you by email a copy of that track.
Cheers

mmm my first post here, still fiddling but you need to turn off the merty merty / Camerons rd at the
sign with no name and the red mudguard on it :)
The other end of the track is right next to the
bridge with the best looking water under it i've seen for ages :)
I attempted this Track last August 2010 but got bogged not far into it:(
I only had enough fuel to make it to Arkaroola (going the merty way) so I bailed out of the unknown track and went with safety via merty :)
