i saw this elsewhere and thought many might be interested if they plan to head out to the centre this year...... http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=BIGRED14

QuoteBig Red in the Simpson Desert will be closed at the times listed below for a two day music festival in July. Organisers have kept closures as short as possible to minimise inconvenience. The closures have been planned due to limited space for vehicles and for safety reasons and have been organised in association with the lease-holder Brook Proprietors/Adria Downs, Diamantina Shire Council, Queensland National Parks and Queensland Police.

4WDers are asked to use Little Red, 3km to the south during the closure periods.

BIG RED CLOSURE TIMES – 8th, 9th 10th July 2014

Before 12 noon each day - Limited access - 4WDs can drive straight across using the direct western and eastern tracks and the chicken run to the south. Vehicles cannot drive uphill to the north and onto the top section of Big Red and cannot use the alternative tracks (to the left) on the western side.

After 12 noon each day - Big Red closed - No vehicle access to the top of Big Red or on any vehicle access tracks.

Also on Wednesday 2nd July-Monday 7th July 2014 there is a 6 day marathon with some overnights at Big Red and runners in and around Birdsville and district.

We are waiting to see if they offer a one day 42km marathon for 2015 that my wife can do and gives me an excuse to go back to Birdsville.
