Dave, I reckon Mungerannie sounds so cool just contact them.
(Toss a coin for leading it out!)

Agree, it sounds good! But I'll give it a few weeks before I call. No point in changing plans now if it gets flooded later and we can't cross there either. The amount of time it has taken to get to the 'usual' crossing, it could take another few weeks, or not at all...
It would still be my second choice, with a convoy of this size and not knowing how much extra time or fuel the Cowarie Station route - if passable - might take. Third choice would be in and out via Birdsville...

Dave, had a look over the BOM river levels report today. There is plenty of water upstream, just plenty. But all of it is less than minor flooding, in fact everything is below bridges etc. So not flooding, just flowing.
It actually sounds pretty positive for us seeing a spectacular part of the world in spectacular conditions.
So far, I think it couldn't be better.
You bet! Can't wait to get out there. 9 weeks tonight, sunset sculptures at Broken Hill
It's this one that has closed the Warburton Crossing http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDS60250/I...7013.plt.shtml
But Lake Eyre Yacht Club http://www.lakeeyreyc.com/Status/latest.html is thinking it might be down in three weeks, then it just has to dry out... http://www.lakeeyreyc.com/Status/FloodAssessment.html

I emailed around a last reminder yesterday that tomorrow - Tuesday 15 May - is the deadline day that Birdsville asked for payment for camping. Hope that is all done now.
I ordered my Desert Parks Pass after the last meeting and it arrived last Friday – so only 9 days for delivery. I’ll do another reminder for this one at the June Meeting, but if you haven’t ordered by the July meeting it will be too late!
The water level has started to drop in the Warburton, so hopefully it’ll dry up in the next few weeks, http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDS60250/I...7013.plt.shtml
And we’ll be all systems go!
8 weeks tonight and we'll be round the campfire at Wilpena Pound

Sorry, who is Nora? I don’t understand what you are trying to do.
If it is pay Birdsville, they took my credit card over the phone. If it is book your desert parks pass, that is an online booking...
Let me know what you need to do if I can help.
