“Come what may” Larry the Lunatic Lobster whispered tonight [emoji3081][emoji51] He’s been overseeing Hillian packing efforts and borrowed a hundred or so metres of Dyneema from a Legendary Bee [emoji219] just in case salt pans get atop of us all, hopefully not [emoji120][emoji120][emoji3590][emoji3590]

What an organisers nightmare, so much effort and lots of expectations and plans hanging. Hope the sun comes out for this and everyone gets what they hoped fo. I would think the Birdsville track will be cactus by the time this is all over and done.
Thanks Heaps Again Philstar [emoji120][emoji120][emoji106][emoji106]Quote:

Looks like the Oodnadatta Track is open now which is good as that's our planned route. Few more days here in Flinders then keep on travelling north. . Also looks like rain is downgraded a little for the end of week but still a little way off, keeping those fingers crossed.

Cheers mate, see how she all goes plans likely could change little bit of rain coming Oodnadatta side but moreso Birdsville side so potentially Simmo could be closed. . .

The forecast has been changing so much lately, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best.
Our car is 99% packed and we are ready to roll early tomorrow morning.

Crossing was closed at Birdsville end last year and Oodnadatta track was closed, we went to Mt Dare via Kulgra, then did Madigan to the Colson, then south to French, then to Dalhousie.
Travel safe everyone!
And we are on the road Wentworth here we come.

Can't believe they got the go ahead TBH the place is going to be absolutely trashed let alone a nightmare for patrons. . Must have some serious leverage, all comes down to $$$ I guess . . .

Roads have started to close as far north as Mt Isa, making its way towards the mine 300klm south and road access is now closed. The weather is quite unseasonal in QLD outback as well.
You just get your ass onto gear.Quote:

Sun has come out today which is very welcome, will be lovely tomorrow then rain coming in a few days thinking might have to do a mild dash up the Oodnadatta and hopefully it doesn't close on us anywhere[emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696]. .
Pretty short drive today through Brachina Gorge was lovely . . .
