Hi all
My wife and I are trying to plan a
Simpson Desert crossing solo in July whilst travelling North between
Adelaide and
Darwin.
Plan:
Travel
Simpson Desert West to East along French line.
Return south via
Birdsville Track and then north west by Oodnatta track.
or via the northern
Plenty Highway back to the centre.
We want to drop the 14ft van somewhere before driving out to Finke and without to much of a detour to pick it back up again.
I'm interested to see if people have done similar or what people have done and where they have left their vans.
Cheers

We left our van stored at MacDonnell Ranges Caravan Park in
Alice Springs. Then went to
Palm Valley, down the Finke
Gorge via
Boggy Hole to the Giles Rd, east to the highway, then across the Hugh Stock Route to Maryvale and out to
Chambers Pillar. Backtracked to the Old Ghan Track, to Finke, then across to Mt Dare,
Dalhousie Springs, across Simpson via Rig Rd, AAK Track, French Line to
Birdsville, then north to
Boulia and back across the Plenty to Alice and the van. Was a good circuit over some 3 weeks.
