Hi all
I have just been given the best christmas present this year. A 2 week travelling holiday to wherever l want with my 3 daughters and wifey.
My question is: l am looking to travel to Uluru from Ballarat, through Tibooburra, Camerons corner, Cordillo Downs and into Birdsville. Then onto Uluru (which way? l'm open to opinions here). Then from Uluru, head south through Flinders Rangers and back into Adelaide, opens to opinions here also.
I have 2 weeks available, a 105 series Landcruiser in perfectly reliable condition.
My family is NOT the travelling type ( i presently have the Cruiser for sale as l gave up trying to get them to go on a trip like this - hence why it's such an awesome chrissy present and totally unexpected) and l'm hoping to include some roads less travelled - without going overboard as we'll be travelling by ourselves with my brother-in-laws cub camper trailer.
What l'm hoping to include is some waterholes for swimming, hopefully staying away from the "touristy" places. The Cruiser is a diesel so no hassles with lack of range for heading off the main track for a picturesque drive - so to speak, Not interested in having to drop tyre pressures in order to get through some places but l'm experienced enough to know when/how to utilize low range.
Hoping some of the more experienced travelers can help me out. I have done a quick check on distances and am hoping to travel at most 500 kms a day (travelling to Broken Hill in a day, so we can then have more time up our sleeve when "the outback starts") hopefully less so we can enjoy the more camping side of things in these idyllic areas.
Thanks again for a great informative forum!
