Arrabury to Nappa Merrie

Wow, only 1 week to go before our big adventure.

I note though that our plans to travel from Haddons Corner to Innamincka via a combination of the Planet Downs Arrabury road and the Cordillo Downs road will have to change as the CDR is closed between Patchawarra bore and Innamincka obviously due to the still rising Cooper Creek at Innamincka.

The obvious choice is to continue south from Arrabury intersection to Nappa Merrie and cross the Cooper there. Anyone done this track and is it presently open?

David O,the road from Arrabury to Nappa Merrie and into Innamincka takes you over the high level Burke & Wills bridge over the Cooper. Good road.

Ruth,

Thanks for that info. I can't wait to get going now, like a kid before Christmas, not sleeping well, just want to get under way.
See you when we get to Birdsville.

Hi Daviid 0,
Just noticed in SA road reports( Mon 5th 11am update) that low level crossing is open to 4wd only (extrenme caution)so you can travel Innaminka-patchawarra bore.
regards
