The hiking in the Flinders Ranges is some of the best in the state, hands down. Last weekend we hiked Mt Brown peak and the country looks amazing after a mild summer. Here Susan shows us the seeds for Flinders Ranges pines that grow in semi arid landscapes, are hardy, Termine proof and native to the region. We managed to grow one in the Outback Shack garden about 7 years ago and it's doing very well! Come and see and enjoy for yourself! 🌲🥾

Book a holiday now for when the kids are back in school. Great mid week rates now available with home style breakfast and supper packs from Teas on the Terrace.

It's raining and the creeks are flowing in the SA outback! Most are pretty stoked but if you are planning on doing any travel take care and follow updates here: www.traffic.sa.gov.au. Roads to the Outback Shack in Quorn are fine for northbound but if you are coming from the north - many roads are closed (in black)

There's nothing quite like curling up in front of the fire, especially when it's easy to use and someone else cleans it!

# # IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION # #

Hi all, we are getting swamped with phone calls regarding what’s happening with roads in the region with the current flooding situation unfolding in central and SW QLD.

We do love having a yarn with you all but bare in mind that while this flooding does affect you getting to Birdsville by road the actual road closures are hundreds of kilometers away from us so we don’t always have the most current information at hand.

We are also seeing many travelers choosing a route through Birdsville and across the Birdsville Track to avoid travel through NSW. Please be aware that after recent rains and with the summer temperatures on the rise this route is really only suitable for 4wd vehicles and drivers that have a well-planned out itinerary.

Please note, while Google maps may be handy in the city it IS NOT accurate or suitable for information regarding outback travel. Also do not trust your in-vehicle Sat Nav even on the latest model vehicles. It’s useless in the bush and WILL send you into places you really don’t want to be stuck in so break out the paper maps or a good quality off road based digital mapping program and plan your trip carefully, that’s all part of the fun of remote area travel.

Munga-Thirri National Park (Simpson Desert) is now closed for the summer and is due to re-open on the 15th of March 2022.

Below are some pointers from a previous post made by our mates at the Birdsville Roadhouse;

*There is 520KM OF DIRT ROAD between Birdsville & Marree. The road is not suitable for low clearance vehicles, and travel in small sedan type vehicles should be avoided.

*There is 250KM OF DIRT ROAD between Windorah and Birdsville. We recommend low clearance vehicles avoid this road wherever possible.

*There is 60KM OF DIRT ROAD between Bedourie and Birdsville. When in good condition, this road can be suitable for lower clearance vehicles if sp*ed is significantly reduced.

*Let someone know your intended route, departure time and expected arrival time. Do not deviate from this route.

*There is NO PHONE SERVICE between towns/pubs, so please see point above.

*Always travel with sufficient water and food. Plan on at least 5L pp/day of drinking water, and have enough for an additional couple of days in case of breakdown.

*If you experience problems please STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE, it is much easier to find than a person. If you decide to walk and subsequently seek shade under a tree, you will be almost impossible to find.

*We recommend taking out the TOP LEVEL OF ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE directly with RACQ or similar. Do not rely on the "free" roadside assistance that comes with new cars, credit cards etc.

*DO NOT DRIVE ON CLOSED ROADS

*Tyres for smaller sedan type vehicles can be difficult to source. Ensure you have at least one FULL SIZE spare tyre with you and know how to fit it (do not rely on the space saver that comes with a lot of small vehicles).

*Book accommodation IN ADVANCE of arriving in small towns.

*LPG is not available for vehicles in Birdsville.

What’s this? Bikes at the Shack? Yipp*e! Now you can ride to the shop, pub and native garden without taking your car and enjoy the lazy, wide street Quorn vibe! We’re also dog friendly and ready for summer storms and🎄 with our own take on the tree 🍾 🌠🕯🔦🎁
