We inquired at the Innamincka Trading Post. The Cordillo Downs road still had a few wet patches but there were drive arounds for all of them and the road was open. We topped up with fuel and headed off.

We stopped at this abandoned bore for lunch. The bore is still visible along with this tank and some old cattle troughs but the only operational trough is getting its water from somewhere else.

Having driven some of the road I can see why it takes awhile to dry out. The road has been graded so that it is now lower than the surrounding land.

Our destination the Cordillo Downs Shearing shed.

The moon rising over the sand dune at our campsite on the way back.

Lots of budgies nesting here too.

Also lots of mossies, so difficult to sit outside and enjoy the full moon.
