Any secret outback oasis's

Not every stop is 1-3 days some e.g. Pimba was just an overnighter after a 600k drive. But the Pt Augusta suggestion will be considered. Thanks

Instead of stopping at Pimba, an alternative is to bush camp at the South of Lake Hart. There is a turning area on the north of the road, which is a mini lookout area, no seats or amenities and NE A a track that leaves the area - crosses the train line and then goes down to the salt lake with a small parking area at the edge of the crust - track length short 1k maybe 2. Magic overnighter quiet, clean & really pretty with the red dirt and whiter than white salt.
There is another viewing area that has minor ammentities and is up a hill with the Lake on the West, this area is usually busy and v.close to the highway noisy, rubbish etc. If you see this go south 10ks look for parking area on the nth of highway.
FWIW I only stop at Pimba for fuel.

Yes but unless things have changed the pub is open 24hrs so you can drink till your hearts content!

Rob when are you doing the simpson what time of year.
Whens the locka going in.

not many sleeps now.

All the best

Hunters Goge, at the 'Lakes might be good now too, after the recent rain.

Bob, don't tell them about that - we want to save the fish for us! Be especially good with that fresh - those Diamantina Barra will be just humungous. Coongie Lakes are full as (Peter Wade was telling me) but road is not open to there yet.

GET THE POINT!!

Only joking the submit post was playing up - strange thing i'd press submit post button and get the response saying "no matches to my search avaiable". Weird little gremlin.
