Innamincka Regional Reserve .
INNAMINCKA TO BIRDSVILLE
It is not easy to leave Innamincka , certainly one of the highlights of The Outback Loop . Aftering re-stocking , head north on the Cordillo Downs Road through the gorgeous Innamincka Regional Reserve .
There are a number of narrow cattle grids and sandy creek crossings / floodways , but a true offroad camper trailer or caravan can be towed with care .
The road will fork : to the left is a shorter but rougher track via Cordillo Downs . This option is not suitable for caravans . To the right is the longer Arrabury Road : continue east for another 16km and turn left . At 287km is the Birdsville Developmental Road ; turn left .
The track via Cordillo Downs enters on the left at 393km and there is a rest area with toilets at 414km . The road staggers through a series of dunes toward the end where it is impossible to see oncoming vehicles . At 509km , you will arrive – dazed , confused and relieved – at Birdsville .
