Mt. Dare, to Colson Track, WAA Line to Knolls Track, French Line to Birdsville. Loaded 100 series Cruiser. Left Mt. Dare on 2/5/08. Soft blown sand on many dunes. Big Red very soft and difficult. Dunes blown by wind from East to West over summer. Slow going in many parts due to bumpy track, affecting fuel economy. 		23/5/2008 8cyl 4.7L ULP 148 220 562 3.8 26.32
