Hi All
Travelling from Innamicka to
Birdsville in a weeks time. I've been checking on the gov. websites for road conditions and understand that the
Walkers Crossing and
Cordillo downs roads are closed. However I cannot find any info. on the road that runs between
Nappa Merrie and the
Birdsville development road via Arrabury on the Qld. side of the border. Does anybody have any upto date information for this road. As I see the only alternative route is an 800km detour via
Eromanga on the Cooper and Diamantina Developmental roads.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
Jon

You heard right.
Walkers crossing is impassable and will be for a while.
I am heading
Birdsville way in 2 weeks. At present I am up around the
Nappa Merrie area. The roads are all open from
Innamincka through to Noccundra. A bit rough over the Cooper flood plain but open to all traffic. The road from
Nappa Merrie up to the
Birdsville development road via Arrabury is open and in good condition. Then down the
Birdsville development road to
Birdsville is open and OK.
Hope that helps.
