Desert Parks Pass

I assume you're travelling from Innamincka over Walkers Crossing to the Birdsville Tk, down to Clifton Hills, and over Warburton Crossing to get to the southern end of the K1?

You'll need a SA Deserts Park Pass to do the K1. You can use the same pass to stay at the Cullyamurra Waterhole at Innamincka.

Yes you need a deserts pass, dearest drive you will ever have. We tried it once and were camped out of the park on the Warburton crossing, low and behold a ranger came along whilst we were camped and wanted to see our passes even though we were not in the park. Told us a lie that there were rangers having a raid at the corner and if we didn’t have passes we would get booked. He made $600 bucks for the parks mob. Dearest toll Rd ever to get to the Hay track.

There’s very little firewood around the Poeppel Corner area. I’d be inclined to camp down the K1, where there is plenty of wood............and some good camp sites.

3 days from Innamincka to Birdsville would make for easy travelling. You could always slip up to the Knolls, if time permitted. Roughly 100kms return trip from the Corner.

Check that Warburton Crossing is open. It was closed a few weeks ago.

If camping in the National Park along the QAA Line you will also need a camping permit from Qld end.
