Just got back from the Simpson 3hrs ago

Wrong prognosis ...... it doesn't pass!

I'll second that. Last crossing was in the 1980's. Was playing on the real Big Red 2 weeks ago and nearly disappeared west. Had to jam on the brakes to stop myself going back into the Simpson.

Ok, I'll revise my reply.

Your suffering from Desert fever. The condition is terminal, and becomes expensive in the latent stage of the illness!

LOL

Kim

yes I think it is a permanent condition. We were already planning our next trip on the way home. We even detoured to do some of the border track near Pinnaroo to experience just that bit more before getting back to the grind. Chris.

Have a wonderful trip and stop to smell the desert roses. We actually do want to go o/s but don't expect it to be the same kind of experience as you get in the outback. I don't like the thought of crowds but would like to see Europe then scurry home to the best place on Earth..

Hello Robin,

We read your description of the return journey from Warraweena and it sounds as though it was both interesting and enjoyable. If you're back up in the Mallee country we'd enjoy catching up with you again. We're off next week end for a bit of trip out around Wyperfeld and Lake Albacutya.

The last time Albacutya was full was in the early/mid 80's. Before it will fill again Hindmarsh has to fill then flow into Albacutya. Here's hoping we'll see it that way again one day in the future.

Best wishes and it was nice to meet at Warraweena.

It definately gets into your blood. We are going to revisit the high country next trip as we are overdue for a visit there. Mind you the Northern Flinders are yet to be explored by us. Cheers, Chris.

Headin off today , in half an hour actually , WAA line east to west then Rig Rd back to Mungerannie.

I hope you have a fantastic time. We went last September and it was HOT. This time we had gorgeous days and below freezing nights. Please take plenty of fuel and water. We met someone who had run out of fuel and luckily one of our group had spare. Cheers, Chris.

Thanks Chris,

We can only manage to get away in September but definitely will be taking plenty fuel and water. We hope to go via Warburton Track across on the Rig Road to Dalhousie/Mt Dare then back to Birdsville via French Line and combination of the other tracks.

As I said before, we're looking forward to it very much.

No but we spoke to some of that group at William Creek. Chris.

We were in a party of five including a bright blue hilux and a green suzuki. Our landcruiser is silver with the explore oz sticker on the front. I don't recall seeing you. I hope you had a great time also. Chris.
