Actually, the French Line isn't too bad from Purnie to Bif Red, the road into BV quite ok too mate . . . it would be great to do a run down the Old Ghan (
Chambers Pillar detour), or Binns Track (
Andado stay ?) . . . either way to Mt Dare is pretty interesting driving.
The track from Mt Dare to Dalhousie over the Gibber is shocking, take the Bloods / Federal Tk, it has recently been reopened after grading, so hopefully no more bad rain events between now and your trip.
(Or first week July, we are coming BV - Mt Dare on FL this time.)
An email from my inquiry about local tracks opening again (we just did Simmo trip a 3 weeks back, and Bloods / Federal as
well as Perdika were closed).
The email said ALL the tracks in the area have been graded now, and I assume Dalhousie to Purnie too, which was shockingly washed out and corrugated.
The fellow said they HATED having to make people drive that gibber, but they almost closed Dalhousie - Purnie he said, and that would mena
the desert would be effectively closed !!
Enjoy your trip.
