HI Stephen, can only ofer a few observations from my single vehicle two person trip at the end of September early October this year, and only the section from
Kunawarritji (
well 33) north to Bililluna, may be of some use to you. April/may, conditions will depend on what sort of a wet season we have up here this year. Some
places will be boggy if still wet, weather will be getting mild by then. Diesel available at Bililluna, $2.60 litre. Diesel available at
Kunawarritji $3.40 litre, they also have accomodation, showers, laundry facilities. Used 108litres of diesel from
Kunawarritji to Bililluna, carried enough extra in case I had to backtrack, another 100 litres, driving new 2.8 diesel hilux dual cab. Took five days to do this section, usual heavy corrigations, lots of great Sandhills to drive over and all the old wells to visit.Food, I always take plenty, between the Engle and the tucker box had around three weeks supply. Carried 80 litres of water, you can supplement water supplies from some of the wells, mainly for washing in. Advice, you will get plenty of good advice from members of this site. Tricky bits, not many if you take it easy, may be a bit more so if you are towing trailers, after a couple of Sandhills you will get your tyre pressures right and work out the best gear to suit your car. With three cars you can spread the load a bit and help each other, it is extremely isolated, any major mechanical drama you will need to be able to fix and drive out, otherwise you are in trouble. Remember take it slow and easy, speed will be your greatest enemy! It's a great trip, I hope to do more of the southern section next year. Others will help you with more info on the rest of the track.
Regards, Mark
