Hey Jamie,
As mentioned, when, where and for how long?

As I have travelled the Connie Sue Hwy(it ain't a Highway...)then across the Anne Beadell Hwy to Coober Pedy back in 2022

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Pete,

Ha, ha - No i did not ??

As I live in Toowoomba, am planning my next trip possibly starting early May for only a few weeks this time
Wonder down to Nyngan/Cobar across to Menindee then up to Milparinka and onwards
Will be a nice and steady easy trip, with lots to see and do...

Chris

Well I'm in a dilemma, when we get back from Europe in June, I'd like to go away again in August - Option 1 is to do a 5 week trip with Track Care doing maintenance on the CSR for 5 wks. But, if my wife decides to actually retire then Option 2 is 5 or more weeks around the Flinders Ranges, along the Oodnadatta to Coober Pedy up to Alice and home via the "rocks" & the GCR.

Decisions decisions!

Duncan, Option 2 doesn't sound too bad to me, we love that part of the world. Something keeps drawing us back and we still keep finding more things to see and do. Regards, Michael.
