Cooper Creek flood response
Flooding in the Queensland Cooper Creek catchment, together with heavy rainfall in South Australia, has resulted in the creek flooding over the Birdsville Track.
Check the road warnings map for the latest road condition information.
For information about the Birdsville Track in Queensland, visit QLDTraffic.
The Cooper Creek barge provides temporary transport for people affected by inland flooding. This helps remote communities, businesses and travellers, and keeps the region connected.
Speed and traffic restrictions due to maintenance
Maintenance patrols operate at many locations across the unsealed road network. There may be speed and traffic restrictions at these work sites.
