12 – 13 September 2023
We continued our journey north along the Birdsville Track
and made our lunch stop at Kilanbar Bore. Unfortunately the flies were out in
force so it was a quick lunch in the car again. Back on the road and we found
the campground and drove a little further on to locate the start of the
Birdsville Inside Track where Mick would explore in the morning. The Inside
Track has been closed for about 5 years due to repeated flood inundation and
there is no sign indicating its location.

We returned to the campground which was once again a big
open area with a couple of toilets and nothing else. We found a spot near some
scrub and set up so that we could escape the flies. Once again dinner had to
wait until after dark. There were only two others camped here, but a large
group of vehicles camped across the other side of the road.
Mick went out very early to drive 14 kilometres along the
Birdsville Inside Track to Goyder Lagoon. Even though the road is officially
closed because it is not possible to get through to Birdsville, it is in
reasonably good condition as far as the lagoon that Mick wanted to visit. He
was home much earlier than I had expected, but very pleased that his mission to
photograph the Grey grasswren had been successful.
With that one in the bag there was no need to hang around so
we set off on the final leg to Birdsville.
