Yeah, Moolawtatna is on the eastern side of the Gammons.
The real Strz goes through the Cobbler Sandhill, past
Montecollina bore , through Murnpeowie (called Mumpy for short ) & down through Mt
Lyndhurst, into
Lyndhurst itself. Then bitumen down the western side of the ranges into the Flinders. From memory, if heading south on the Strz from Merty, hook a lefty and it's an easy run down to
Balcanoona. From there you can easliy access the Gammons, or travel further south into the Flinders, on the east, rather than the more tradiitional western approach.
I agree with your sentiments, it is a nice drive on the old Strz from Merty into
Innamincka. I recall cooking a very nice piece of pork in the
camp oven, on a coolabah fire, in that stretch. The bloody corellas were very annoying at dawn, however. Gotta go again soon for another fix.
