ID:153271 - Shout Out for Michelle & David

Fiona & Paul — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 11:09:00 GMT

Working every day with Ai tools and Photoshop (40+ yrs) one gets to store heaps of knowledge, then learn how to put that knowledge to productive use. Thinking about what they have been up to for the last few weeks I tried to get everything into a single image. Thanks Mum & David[gi]248481[/gi]

ID:153254 - Maxilamp 3 alternative

kevin c — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 21:53:00 GMT

Hi all,

I need to replace my Maxilamp 3 tail lights for roadworthy. The price of these has gone through the roof.
Has anyone found a replacement (same size) at a reasonable price that complies to ADR

Thanks, Kevin

ID:153228 - K'GARI in school holidays

Member - Murray R (VIC) — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 05:47:00 GMT

l'm up that way at the start of the school holidays and are thinking of going there. Has anyone been there during school holidays and able to tell me how busy it get during that time. I know there is busy and then there is busy busy which would tend us to have second thoughts and go elsewhere. With now higher fuel prices coming may be fewer people over there during the holidays. Maybe hard to answer but any thoughts could help us decide where we end up.

ID:153227 - The Strzelecki Track and Innamincka July 2026.

Peter_n_Margaret — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 04:10:00 GMT

Margaret and I have been working at Innamincka with Friends of Innamincka Reserves group for the last week. We will be here for another week too.
Some here might like a first hand update on local conditions?
The Strzelecki Track is still closed east of Moomba and it is suggested by those who should know that it will probably remain closed until Christmas.
Further south, there are large sections of new bitumen nearing completion. It is currently reduced to 40 or 60kph (due to workmen and road works, not the road conditions).
Public access to Innamincka is only currently available from the east (or by air). The causeway is 400mm deep and still officially closed. I expect it might open soon. The locals are using it.

The campsites around Innimincka have taken a pounding.
Innamincka has an average annual rainfall of 150mm. So far this year they have had 500mm which, added to the Cooper flood, has caused havoc.
None of the campground toilets are usable. Even those which are still upright are full and need pumping out and some access tracks are now gulleys a meter or 2 deep.
We are camped in the tour bus camping area with trailer toilets. There is a public camping area in town.
There is a constant dribble of tourists coming through.

The old Strz south of town has some serious water damage. Personally, I wonder if it will ever be reopened unless Moomba needs it.
Cheers,
Peter

Our Latest Blog post 'deserved' a post of it's own, so still has not quite brought us up to date. Written & posted from here in East Arnhem Land. Next post will cover our time in East Arnhem, so we'll wait until we are finished here to write it.

ID:153202 - Reporting Place's failure for Kennedy Range NP WA

Member - PhilD_NT — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 01:51:00 GMT

I've been trying to report via the Help Desk for a number of changes to camping and travelling the Loop Track but it doesn't seem to be working.

There has been significant changes to camping and travel in the Kennedy Range NP in WA.

Particularly, there is as of July 2026 only 2 places (the Temple Gorge camp on the eastern side and Chaffcutter Springs on the western side) where camping is allowed.

As this affects a number of Places currently marked as camping sites it is maybe up to Admin of ExplorOz to update those Places affected.

We only found out about this recently in planning for next year from this site, https://www.uppergascoyne.wa.gov.au/tourism/visiting-upper-gascoyne/epic-road-trips/kennedy-loop-track.aspx
