SA map advice please....

Gday Drew,

Not sure when you are planning on your trip but if you are thinking June you may find you will not be able to get onto the beach sections.
I have been down there in June a couple of times and there has been king tides that have made the beach inaccessible.
Even if you cant get on the beaches you would still be able to have fun in the sand hills though.

Yea I was going to put forward caution because of this issue.. but yea, if you can't go the beach you can get around most sections via the dunes..

But hay, a few boys down here are always up for cruze that way if you want some company..

What days are you looking at coming across this way, Drew? I have been for a couple of day trips to Beachport in the van. Some of the tracks I saw looked like a lot of fun. X2 if you want some company. I should have the Old Trol's steering fixed in a few days.

I haven't decided just yet. It will be after the Queens birthday weekend though (gotta get my annual snow drive on with the kids!).
It's going to be me and one or two of my besties. A bit of a quiet cruise, some sand driving fun and remote camping to allow me a bit of thinking time now I'm in remission and recovering from my treatment. I had planned to head up through the high country into NSW but most of the tracks are going to be closed soon.
Be great to meet you blokes from over that neck of the woods. I'll let you know when I'm heading off.

Well I thought the moon controlled all things tidal, not a S-A answer IMO.
be that causing erosion for king tides, a given IMO

Last time I went to do a beach run from Piccanny ponds to Port Mac, we only drove on the sand for twentry minutes until we found the beach was nearly non-existant around some points. We gave up and drove on the road. The time and tide info we had was totally wrong. After we had a chat with the bloke at the local fishing gear shop, I'll be giving him a ring to make sure we get the correct info next time.

Yea down here its very weather influenced..
When you QLD boys or WA boys have a cyclone we get really weird weather.. and most the time get smashed..

Anyone got any idea how long it would take to travel from 28 Mile crossing all the way up to the mouth of the Murray along the beach in the Coorong National Park? How easy is the drive?

You may have already looked at this link, it has some discussion about driving to the mouth.

I have only driven part of it to go fishing and camping, found it very soft especially in the shell grit.
You may find it impassable at this time of year.
