See Aboriginal stone chippings and grinding stones, left where they were abandoned hundreds of years ago. See dramatic changes in desert vegetation and dune shape and construction as you slowly crawl across the desert.

Thomas No 1 Oil Well
This photo was taken just north of Thomas No 1 Oil Well. Cresting a large dune, these 2 cleared shot lines stand out like a beacon in the desert. The only reason why they are still visible after all these years is that they were put through a very large grove of Gidgee, making the cleared lines still visible from many kilometres away.
Geosurveys Hill
Geosurveys Hill is a rare rock covered hill in the very remote Simpson Desert and was first discovered by Reg Sprigg. While making the first South - North motorised crossing of the Simpson Desert in September 1964, Reg and his family Climbed to the top of this hill and erected a stone cairn, that is still there today.
The Twins
The true name for these two hills is Poodinitterra Hill and Crocker Hill. The first white man to discover the twins was a South Australian surveyor by the name of Theodore Earnest Day. He erected a small stone cairn on Poodinitterra Hill in 1916. The next important Explorer to visit them was Dr Cecil Madigan in his 1939 crossing of the Simpson Desert.

Preparation
This trip should only be undertaken by EXPERIENCED outback desert travellers ONLY! Because of the very remote nature of the area to be travelled, trip leaders must be very competent in GPS
navigation
, as there are no tracks to follow for over 90% of the trip, being pure off road travel at a very slow pace.
All supplies of food, water and fuel, must be taken before the trip is started. Do not under estimate your fuel and water usage, as there are no back up supplies to be obtained along the way. Any sort of vehicle recovery would be very difficult and extremely expensive. As well as vehicle preparation, participants’ health issues must also be catered for. Visit your local GP prior to the trip and take a selection of medications that may be needed for such a remote area.
With the nature of many of the dunes to be crossed, I would also highly recommend using the GPS in conjunction with a moving map programme, such as OziExplorer, and a Laptop computer for real time moving mapping. There will be many times that GPS
navigation
will not be enough, and the moving map will help you to navigate safely around some of the larger dunes that will be impossible to cross. First and second gear low range is the usual gearing, showing how slow your progress will be. Also recommend a minimum of 2
GPS units
and 2 laptop computers, as well as a standard compass in the group, in case of GPS failures.
Vehicles must be in first class condition, as well as
tyres
, and
suspension
. Make sure that you carry extra tyre plugs and tubes, as you will be guaranteed many punctures, mostly side wall type. It will be the first few vehicles in the group that take the lead that are going to be guaranteed punctures, clearing the track for the following vehicles.
Your vehicle will need to be extensively prepared for remote area travel, with all fuel, water, food and vehicle repair equipment and spare parts.
All travellers should read the
4WDriving
Topic for related articles and checklists for
vehicle setup
and driver awareness. We advise that you refer to the latest information and advice about outback
communications
in the
Communications
Topic.

ExplorOz Trek Notes are detailed, factual reviews of destinations in Australia to which you can plan a self-drive camping trip. This page will enable you to access over 100 of these trek notes, using various search methods and at a glance you can see what treks we have in each area across Australia.
[Feature Story]
Owen Springs Reserve
An easy short trek out of Alice Springs with good bush camping and a historic value of early European explorers to Central Australia.
Plenty Highway
The is the most direct route from central Queensland across to Alice Springs in central Australia. It is a wide stretch of very red sandy soil that when wet can be impassible - 4WD only.
Old Andado Track
The Old Andado Track traverses fascinating terrain that includes mountain ranges, rocky gibber plains, desert sand dunes and floodplains in the Red Centre just south of Alice Springs.
Hay River
Suitable only to 4WDers with a strong sense of adventure and experience in remote desert travel. This track is largely unmarked and good map-reading skills are essential.
Finke to Uluru via Old Gunbarrel
An alternative route to access the wonderful Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, this trip from Finke east of the Stuart Highway takes in the Lambert Centre - the planimetric gravitational centre of Australia, and a short section of the Old Gunbarrel Highway before intersecting the main route of the Lasseter Highway near Curtain Springs.
The Tanami Track
The Tanami Track is essentially a great short-cut linking the Red Centre to the Kimberley. Although once a notorious 4WD track, it is now a graded dirt highway.
Chambers Pillar
Chambers Pillar is a natural sandstone formation used by our famous early explorers as a navigational point. You can still read their signatures and inscriptions carved into the rock. It is also a beautiful photographic subject in a remote 4WD area.
Boggy Hole
Finke Gorge is located within the Finke Gorge NP south of the West MacDonnell Ranges in the Alice Springs region. The most popular attraction is Boggy Hole, a permanent billabong of the Finke River. This is a good 4WD route to Uluru and/or Kings Canyon.
West MacDonnell Ranges
The West MacDonnell Ranges in the heart of Australia's red centre stretch for 400km from east-west as a series of parallel ranges. Within the ranges are magnificent gaps and gorges, dramatic scenery, great bush camping and walks.
