"November 2001 - A word about trailers...
The South Australian Dept of Environment and Heritage advise that trailers are not be towed through the Simpson Desert. This is an environmental/recovery issue rather than a safety issue. The risk of bearings and axle failure is high due to the difficult terrain. The risk is further compounded by the lack of support facilities and services in the desert. Consequently, trailers are frequently abandoned in the desert at great expense to owners and conservation groups. Please heed these warnings seriously. ExplorOz advise that there is currently no "fine" for towing a trailer, but you will incur an enormous "fine" if you have to abandon a trailer in the desert. It will also become your responsibility to retrieve the trailer at your expense... and this is considerable!"
