Cooper Creek flood response

The Birdsville Track at the Cooper Creek causeway in South Australia reopened in early February as Cooper Creek flood waters subsided.

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 service is not in operation. The barge will remain on site as we monitor flooding in Queensland and the impact that may have on the Cooper Creek and our unsealed roads.

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.
