Travel time from Tibooburra to Marree?

Google map says it is 657 km and will take 22 hr 40 mins. Great Desert Tracks confirms the distance.

Given good road conditions at the time, yes it can be done comfortably in a day.

No 1 rule don't speed

If the roads are dry from Tiboburra to Merty Station, you will average 80 km/hr, no probs, but if wet, you will have a few stops and diversion tracks to contend with.
They are all easily doable in the wet.

The Strzlecki Track is usually in good condition, and kept that way because of the Gas Oil plants around Innamincka. Again that will again depend on the weather.

Do it in 8 hrs easy, and with a few stops.

Hi Zaak

Last year when we were staying at the Copley Caravan Park, we were talking to a chap in his late 60's that was driving a Toyota Coaster about the usual stuff around the campfire...where are you heading and where have you come from.

He said that he had left Tibooburra that morning and had driven through to Copley in 1 day, driving to the conditions and when the travelling was good, he said he was able to sit on 80 kph. Providing that the Strez is dry, it is usually in good condition.

As for the now 80 kilometres from Lyndhurst to Marree, it is broken up now with only 2 dirt sections, not like years ago when it was all dirt.


I hope this is of some help to you.



Cheers

Thanks everyone for your advice & thoughts. We might have to provision a mid track stopover just in case the road gets the better of us! Nothing like a bit of roadside camping anyway hey :)

Hi Zaak,
Most the roads are good out that way at the moment, to save a bit of time you can take the shortcut across to the Strzelecki Track from the Cameron Crn/Merty Merty road. The turn is 34km past the Yellow Bus (28 48.802 S, 140 15.858 E), look for a red marker on a pole, the track had only been graded when we went thru 3 weeks ago and was in good condition.

Zaak,
We were through that way 2 weeks ago and stayed at Camerons Corner,left at about nine am and arrived in Marree at 3.30pm with lots of stops. Tibooburra was an easy 2 hours the day before into the sun. The roads are in top condition.
