Simple reply- NO.

End of July

Dave & Jade,

Your a bit lite on details, but if you mean can you get all the way from Dalhousie Springs to Birdsville then the simple answer is no!

The complicated answer is yes the Simpson Desert is open & mostly dry through to Poepple Corner, the QAA line through to Birsville is closed due to flooding of Eyre Creek & may not re-open untill mid to late July.

There have been quite a few groups of people as well as individuals heading out into the Simpson Desert & doing a loop out from Dalhousie Springs & returning, there has also been a few groups heading across to Poepple Corner & up the Hay river track.

At least one group has been across the Madigan line & is returning via the French line.

Hope this helps.

Dave

A bit of an idea. We were hoping to use the Warburton Track out of the Simpson. Word had it that the Warburton Crossing may be closed. If it isn't then that may be an option. Otherwise the Hay River Track to the north may be okay for you. We cannot go this year as we do not have enough holidays left from my wife's work. A wedding took too many. *^#^#$3
