Travelling along the remote Birdsville track near the border of South Australia and Queensland. Despite what the landscape appears like, there are giant working cattle stations..up to a couple of million acres along here...
If there is any rain it can be impassable for weeks....and some stretches are just stone.
It is a 12-24 hour journey from Marrée to Birdsville on this road. This is quite a well kept section. There is one place to buy petrol between these two points.
One carries two spare tyres, lots of water and food, and camping gear. There is no phone reception mostly

Wide open spaces, but a dirt track road? Glorious isolation, except when one has a breakdown.

Looks pretty wild to me Diana. I would certainly hesitate to undertake such a journey. What if you car breaks down here? Not very much in the way of exciting photographic scenes neither as far as I can make out but you have made the best of it. Keep safe! ~ Herb

Back before we met, long ago, my wife was a governess at Kalamurina (now a nature reserve) near Lake Eyre along this track. A great image of the Centre.

No pesky hills or mountains to get in the way :-))
Excellent illustration of this almost barren landscape D,
Just looked at your location and it's sure is a lonely place.

So this is what is beyond infinity;-) Great capture Diana, not an area in which to take anything for granted.

All the best, Doug

Despite the emptiness................the "road" looks to be pretty well travelled judging by the tyre tracks.

In the sunshine it looks quite stunning............I like the contrast between the blue sky and the beautiful brown tones of the land. Great work as always Diana.

ça c'est l' aventure :-) . J' aime beaucoup la photo : ce paysage immense et désertique, et la voiture, portes ouvertes, juste ce qui nous rattache à la vie.

For me this landscape is absolutely incredible, such a huge and desert landscape without any greenery - amazing!

Wide open spaces, not cluttered up by green growing things! ;) Could be in the Texas panhandle or environs.

Das Land ist schon faszinierend, weite Flächen und wenn man bedenkt das dieser Kontinent am Ende der Welt eine Insel ist, braucht man doch fast eine Ewigkeit von einem Ort zum nächsten zu kommen. Das ist schon ganz schön beeindruckend.

Almost a paved highway. How much of the road is this good? And one can buy fuel along the way now? Where is remoteness these days?

Diana Australis club has replied to GrahamH club
Not much of it is this good! Mostly more rough and stony. One very small fuel stop/ pub

I respect your modesty.
Enjoy your winter, I hope I am not much wrong.
Big white sharks are out avoiding your "cold waters".
At least, you only have the medusas to worry.
Enjoy a great week Diana.

I just love these vast Australian landscapes! When you come from a densely populated area in Germany this is just freedom :-)
