To all those planning to cross in the short term, the Qld DERM site advises that the
Simpson Desert National Park is closed until further notice and it will not be reviewed until the 1st May.

That is the Qld side of the
Simpson Desert, we are waiting on the SA DENR to advise when the SA section of the
Simpson Desert National Park will open.

I must have misread your site as I'm sure it said it was now open.

MM,
Nope, it says thet the SA
Simpson Desert Park is still closed, we are still waiting on a response from DENR as to when they will open it.
The only reason we've got so far is that the roads into the park are still closed, the only way in at the moment is via
Kulgera & Finke, from Finke to us the road is passable, with the worst sections just having been lightly graded.
It is unlikely that Eyre Creek in Queensland (not part of SA
Simpson Desert Park) will be passable until June or even July.
