COOPER CR

The Cooper has no impact on the accessable part of the Simpson desert!

The Georgina catchment area is what floods Eyre Creek, only local rain affects the Desert itself.

I realise that Jeff.

And nice to catch up with you again. Still working on a loop access around the Charlotte Range on the Idracowra property the other side of Finke to you, near Chamders Pillar. I think I dropped you an email about it. Not sure though.

The problem is that we have to swing south towards SA from Birdsville and for medical reasons I cannot afford any lengthy delays. It would be handy if the Warburton crossing was open as that would give me a day or two extra on the drive before being back here.

Thanks for the advice. We will drop in before the Simpson for a night though. See you then.

Not a problem Phil, I can appreciate you concern.

The Warburton crossing, if it opens will be a hard slog as it's been closed for the last three years, I'd love to have a go at it as I haven't been that way yet!

Hopefully we don't get another wet like we did lest year (I'm well over mud!) & the desert will be fully accessable!

we will be at lake Eyre in about 5 weeks should we expect to still see it full?

Not unless a LOT of water comes down the Cooper, Diamantina & Goergina!

Last that I heard is that it's currently at 5%!
