Better give me a holler if it does, coz I might just jump in the car and drive across. Be good to meet up. If it happens, I would most likely go into Marree and camp out the back of the hotel. They have a series of good scenic plane trips.

For those following this thread and maybe not aware, this area is in the middle of the desert and they actually have a yacht club there. 
Check out their website which is also a good site for tracking when the rains and flows of water are occurring.

Yes, there's an island on which Pelicans breed. They set out for it from hundreds of kms away when the water starts to flow. It's not known how they know.
Even stranger are Banded Stilts.

@gordon_g It is a place that you will goggle at, your most welcome for the photos, I hope people gain some insight into our country and its wonderful landscape.
I have lots more photos of that trip to Cape York, I prefer to show some of the unusual aspects of it, this is topic is one, https://bcgforums.com/index.php?threads/australian-landscapes.1266/ was another.
From my home to Cape York return without any extra side trips would be approximately 9,815kms, a trip pretty much around the Australian coastline in 1990 was 28,00kms in total.

My mum always told me only the good die young so I don't have much to worry about. I reckon on about 120 for my misspent youth.

I can recommend Lake Gairdner as another destination.... a white salt lake bounded by red dunes in places.

Cooktown, Queensland, from Grassy Hill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooktown,_Queensland Road to the tip, some hundreds of kilometres like this, note corrugations and UHF aerial. There is also another section to the right of the road that some people use as the actual road is so corrugated...
