Hi,
Heading off for a simpson crossing in a few weeks.
Looking at going up
oodnadatta and into Dalhousie rather than all the way up the blacktop.
Anyone travelled the track lately and what sort of condition is it in?
Also just want to make sure you can get through to Dlahousie so I dont have to go back around anyway.
Look forward to your responses as always!!
OC

Others will advise on the current state of
the desert, however I've done the trip many times and I just wanted to point out that you don't necessarily have to go via
Mildura etc to get to
Oodnadatta. It is about the same distance to go via
Broken Hill,
Peterborough etc. So from
Canberra you go Harden, Temora, W Wyalong,
Hillston, Ivanhoe,
Menindee,
Broken Hill,
Peterborough,
Hawker, Maree.
Maybe its because I've done it so often but I find the
Hay Plains pretty uninteresting. There is some nice mallee around
Balranald, but apart from that its very boring.
The
Broken Hill way is a bit more off the beaten track, which I always prefer.
