I feel sorry for the drivers of the X Trails and such because once you're there it must be stressful hoping to get through.
All roads are in good condition, relative to the area. The road from Dig Tree to Innaminka is pretty rough and there are a few bits along the
Cordillo Downs that need to be driven with care. It's interesting to see how much water has been through that area in the recent past. Parts of the road north of Innaminka have been bypassed for good.
If you get a chance, stop at the
Hungerford Pub. The managers, Moc and Sheree, are the best hosts I have ever come across. We stayed in the park across from the pub for $6.00 a head and had a few beers at the pub. Thoroughly entertaining.
The Noccundra Pub was quiet but good for a cool beer. There were a few people setting up on the
Wilson River there.
We talked to some fellas that headed to the Cooper on Durham Downs after the races. They had 4 kilos of yabbie "meat" from one night there. They reckon the water was thick with them. They went from
Cordillo Downs to Durham Downs.
Walkers Crossing is still closed until further notice. I heard it won't be open this year, at best.
Have a good trip,
eighty matey
