We took the road to Omicron and Epsilon towards Innaminka. Stopped for linch about 10-15km north of Epsilon near some trees and a lake. Cooked up some sausages on the side of the road.
Other roads we could have taken were the Streszleki Rd - Sand Dunes - or the Bore Track - clay - private access by donation $10 for up keep and flying doctors.
Tried to access campsite but majority of the campsites were closed due to flooding so we ended up camping very close to Innaminka. Before setting up we drove around - did our first river crossing with the trailer, then spotted a plume of black smoke. It looked like it was coming from the airfield - sure enough a plane had crashed just off the runway. Luckily all 5 people managed to get out plus they managed to get their luggage out before the wreckage burnt too much.
Once we were sure everyone was out we left and went back to set up camp. Set up everything really fast and it looked good. Were advised there is a bit of a mouse plague by other campers - not as bad as packsaddle.
