The manager of Mungeranie Hotel on the Birdsville Track says roads in outback South Australia should be closed indefinitely until they dry out.
The northern section of the Birdsville Track in SA was re-opened after recent flooding, but is closed again because of more rain.
Phil Gregurke from the hotel says the Track should be closed to all but essential travellers.
"I think what they need to do is declare all the outback area from Oodnadatta across to Cameron's Corner to Birdsville, Mount Dare as a disaster area and just close the entire place down," he said.
"If it keeps raining like this there is going to be a major accident and we're always concerned about anyone travelling along these roads when they're in this sort of condition."
The Transport Department says the northern section of the Birdsville Track is again closed in SA but the southern section from Marree is open to four-wheel-drives.
