Yes indeed, my info is strictly related to normal conditions. I should have
mentioned to check for water levels but it was early and I was still sleepy;-)
Koonchera Dune is of course halfway up the Birdsville Track and several hundred
kilometres away from here and not the Grey Grasswren site I mentioned. Ergo a
call to Bill O'Connor below would clarify how easy it is to get in to this site
for you.
Thanks Allan

Hi Alan and Murray,
Good advice but having flown over the Bulloo Overflow about a week ago, I
suspect that the Adelaide Gate site is under water.
Koonchera Dune is also on private property and is now strictly off limits.
Regards,
Allan

Hi Murray and others,
I hope this helps:
You are not allowed on to the Pyampa property at all. It is off limits: FULL
STOP. Do not go there.
An alternative site for Grey Grasswren: near Adelaide Gate about 100kms NE
of Tibooburra.
To visit, it is essential to first obtain permission from the local
landowner Bill O'Connor who lives at Narriearra Homestead (Tel: + 61 8 8091
3547). WHY? Bill sometimes takes pig-shooting parties to the birding area
and he does not want any dead birders. As a requirement for birding here you
must call in at the homestead that is practically en route.
It is very important to avoid the road immediately adjacent / alongside the
Dog Fence on the QLD / NSW border for Occupational Health & Safety reasons.
This is critical; offenders are very likely to be prosecuted. Keep to the
rough track below and away from the fence. Acting dumb will not work here!
Cheers
Alan
