Pedirka was also really good (graded) back in Sept / Oct, best I've ever seen, but of course it could be deteriorated by now again.
But I like it as a route, a few good things to see along there.
Going up it there's Pedirka siding, Cherrikana
Waterhole, Dalhousie
ruins,
Dalhousie Springs (proper)
lookout, so worth it I feel.
Are you going from
Dalhousie Springs to Mt Dare first ?
(Mt Dare new folks are settling in
well, nice people, they did a dandy
suspension repair for me July last year tha saved my butt.)
If so, go via Bloods Ck Tk, the direct route is tempting as it's more direct, but very rough (boulders from cricket ball to bowling ball size).
Perdika - Rig - Knolls - QAA you will romp it in with 219lt if area is dry.
Rig is fast we did it
Warburton X
camp to 3 O'Clock Ck 2 days, with one
camp at Walkandi 2
junction . . . it was hot, we just wanted to cross and get the drive done, but it was an easy drive in good daylight each day.
Knolls is a good run up corridors too, QAA will always be more like normal with the traffic it gets, but fun with the dune sizes.
ULP, mate with Pajero 3.0 v6 (1988 model !) did it with me in April 2014, French Line, he used 117lt Mt Dare to BV, while I used only a little less in the 3.0tdi at 106lt, so petrol not too bad in some cases.
He had no dramas going up the dunes steady, but that motor does have good low end torque.
Enjoy the drive dad, always good to hit the desert.
