To Birdsville QLD and back.

We drive from Ferntree Gully to Mildura then to Silverton. Once we leave Silverton we then drive to Cameron's Corner. From Cameron's Corner we drive to Innamincka via the old Strzelecki Track. Leave Innamincka and travel to Birdsville travelling via the Dig Tree and then staying at Deon's Lookout. Leaving Birdsville we head south along the Birdsville Track and stop overnight at Mungerannnie. Leaving here we then drive to Maree and take a flight over Lake Eyre south. Heading south we follow the Oodnadatta track to Parachilna George. Leaving here we then head to Waikerie via Quorn and Burra. Leaving Waikerie we head back to Ferntree Gully
