Birdsville tracks

 
Overview

The Birdsville Track is a notable outback road in Australia. The 517 kilometers track runs between Birdsville in south-western Queensland and Marree, a small town in the north-eastern part of South Australia.

Description

The Birdsville Track is an old stock route that dates back to the 1860s. It was used to move cattle from Queensland down to Maree in South Australia. Today the track sees livestock trucks and a steady stream of tourists keen to see a precious piece of the Australian outback. The original stock route is the ‘inside track’ and only suitable during dry conditions. The ‘outside track’ is only slightly longer and more reliable.
