It's probably gonna become like Surfers around here in the next week or two with the hoardes of Birdsville race goers crowding out the region leading up to & following the races at the beginning of September. All the hoons travelling at a rate of knots, throwing up their rocks & dust.

We are going to loop down to Birdsville & Innaminka after the Diamantina National Park, but hopefully will take enough time to arrive at Birdsville after the racegoers have all departed. Loved Birdsville last time we were there, despite temps in the mid 40's, mainly because it was so quiet with heaps of birdlife on the billabong. Not a fan of crowds.

Would've been heading down that way now, except we first want to catch up with some friends who are on their way south from Longreach, probably in Windorah or Jundah.

Nah, that lady looks much more 'manly'. Ha ha.

Arrived at Windorah today - well almost. Just set up camp on Cooper's Creek not to far from the road bridge & 12kms east of town. Nice spot.
Anyone have an recommendations for things to see/do whilst here? We'll be here a few days with two lots of friends arriving to join us tomorrow.

Already the roads & camp spots have plenty of folk travelling to Birdsville for the races in a couple of weeks time. Most are very courteous on the road but we reckon it'll get pretty crazy over the next fortnight. We're hoping to avoid most of it, just haven't quite worked out a travel strategy to do that yet though! Not interested in going to the races, we'll go to Innamincka via Birdsville & Walkers Crossing after the races before heading across to Fraser Island sometime in September.

Yeah, yeah yeah - rub it in Cuppa

Hope the entrance to walkers crossing is in better shape at the Birdsville track end , long deep and slippery mud hole when we were there .
Remember the Wyandra free camp and the ownerless old dog Sally that was all but blind .
Love reading your exploits Cuppa and learning of these new spots .
