Steve and Kez Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hello Fellow Travelers, We are currently in the Riverland in SA for grape harvest and will be travelling to Lawn Hill in Qld at the start of May for work. I am thinking of travelling the Birdsville Track & Eyre Devolopmental Road through Bedourie and Bouilia, then onto Lawn Hill. While I know the Oodnadatta and Birdsville Tracks are nice and easy tracks to travel, I am unsure about the Eyre Developmental Road as I have not previously travelled it. So I would appreciate some information about it from anyone who has travelled it recently please Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John and Tina Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Steve and KezWe travelled from Birdsville to Mt Isa via the Eyre Development Road and Diamantina Developmental Way June 2014 .The road was in very good condition. Most of the road is sealed. You should no problems.Warm RegardsJohn and Tina Enjoy the trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve and Kez Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks John & Tina, By the sounds of it I need to update my map as it shows it as all unsealed. Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv and Di Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 We headed to Mt Isa after the races last year and I think there was only about 50k's or of intermittent dirt. Check you map and see if it has dots and dashes, this was the bitumen/dirt break up. Easy trip to enjoy. Don't forget to indulge in a swim at the Artesian Spa in Bedourie on the way north. Cheers Merv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve and Kez Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks for the info Merv, I have just gone and purchased a new Hema Maps book as my previous one is 16 years old. There seems to be a lot more sealed roads (all over Australia) in it than the old book had ............ funny that, hey. We are holding a special "Burning Ceremony" for the old book today as we thought Australia day was very appropriate for it as it has guided us well over the may years. We are still deciding on whether or not to keep the ashes as it seems part of the family now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
