Everything I've Googled says "Nice views" only I'd rather know about the drive conditions - the climb up (or down). We are in Coffs no...

The Strzelecki, Birdsville and Oodnadatta Tracks and most gravel roads in the flinders are all closed due to rain. http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/OutbackRoads In a couple of weeks, the desert will bloom and it will be a great time to be out there. Cheers, Peter
