I keep putting it off, but next year I AM going to see Birdsville and surrounding areas.
I am thinking May/June time of year travelling from the Toowoomba area.
Is this a good time of year as I prefer the cooler days and cold nights. Not a fan of the extreme heat.
we were out at Birdsville in June of this year, looking at the pics we took i notice i'm wearing long pants in quite a few photos, so the temps during the day couldn't have been all that hot (i rarely wear long pants by the way). the nights still can get a touch crisp, so sounds like May / June will suit what you want.

We went last year at the end of September and found it to be not to hot. Nights were still cool so we could sleep and days were good.
