Birdsville and Beyond - day 4

Early rise today because we had a lot of ground to cover. We drove off at 7:30 to cross the border into South Australia. A section of the Bore Track took us to Innamincka for fuel, lunch and a hot shower in the public shower.

After that we headed up the Cordillo downs track. Because of the recent rain this track was very difficult. We got stuck in the mud a couple of times and had to use the snatch strap to get pulled out. Everything, especially Arjan, was covered in mud. Due to the wet terrain we decided to push on to Birdsville despite we prefer to set up camp in daylight.

Unfortunately Birdsville had a lot of rain, so it was very hard to find a decent spot in the dark and rain with a very hard wind blowing. Around 11pm we finally sat in the tent dry-ish. Hopefully tomorrow will be dry.
