I am planning to do the
bore track from the northern end. I read on another
forum message that you can get permission to travel the
bore track, from Bollards
Lagoon ($10 fee). That of course would require travel from the Southern end.
Can permission be obtained prior, and the $10 fee paid on arrival at Bollards or some other arrangement ie mail the fee?
Anyone have experience with this?

I have done it both ways in the past 2 years and you pay the $10 at the Bollards
Lagoon Station complex.
There is always someone there ( just have find them sometimes) to take the $10.00 and advise you, if relevant, on the current track condition.
Especially in the Bollards
Lagoon Station boundaries, as there is a fair size
lake near the station house end that you have cross, which fills with water at the drop of a hat.
The Corner Store at Camerons Corner always knows the current status of the track if you wish to ring them prior to travelling it.

Call the NPWS at
Tibooburra, they are up to date with all the relevant road and track details between
Broken Hill,
Bourke,
Lyndhurst, Innaminka and beyond.
Tibboburra is the closest town and everyone knows everyone and knows what is happening and so one. The locals can even tell you who have been travelling where - even though you did not see anyone - they say I could tell from the tyres tracks.
Don't know what the
sign posting is like now days - but the
bore track use to be like a property track - you just had to know where you were going and hoped for the best. Call NPWS they will know if the
Bore track is open or the Cooper is flooded at Innaminka.
PS. They will not be able to tell you if it is going to rain in July or so. I lived out there for 4 years and someone asked - I will be coming out there on 22nd July - will it be raining ? - the reply was "yes we are expecting 4 inches that day" !!!! LOLCheers, Beddo
