After an unexpected 7-day stay in Innamincka the travellers begin to assemble for the great escape east. The tracks were still officially closed at this point, so we had a police escort to lead us from South Australia into Queensland. Not wishing to be part of the main convoy, we hung back for about 15 minutes, then departed. Good-bye Innamincka. We’ll be back.

There were several tens of vehicles scattered here and there up and down the Cooper Creek around Innamincka during the the enforced sojourn. Many had camper trailers, some had traditional tents, (some had palatial tents!), others had roof-top camping setups like the one on this Nissan Patrol. The vehicle’s rear seats have been removed to give additional storage space - including space to place a ‘fridge. It looks quite comfy.
