The Eyre Developmental Road is a gazetted road in south-west Queensland that runs from Bedourie to Birdsville and then to the border with South Australia, where it continues as the Birdsville Track.[1] At the northern end it joins the Diamantina Developmental Road, and the mostly unsealed road crosses the Georgina River and Diamantina River.[2] Maintenance of the road is the responsibility of the Queensland State Government.[1] The road intersects with the Birdsville Developmental Road in Birdsville.
