The Geographical Centre of the Simpson Desert was dertermined by the "centre of gravity" method by Warren Bonython and Dennis Bartell. The first people to attempt to reach the Geo Centre of the Simpson Desert before the aid of GPS navigation were Willem Kempen, Judith Kempen and David Hodgkinson driving two Suzuki 1300's. On 4th July 1987 they reached the approximate position of the Geo Centre and erected a plaque to commemorate the event. This position though has not been reclaimed as yet.
