Big 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.
