Has anyone done the simpson this year yet? we are off in June and July for another trip across. Doing some gorges and hopefully doing the Sandy Blight
Junction. Have to organise permits yet. Any road news or things we need to be aware of this year? Done it heaps of times, but every year its a bit different.
TIA

We left Dalhousie on 4-5-18 and arrived Big Red 12-5-18.
Travelled via French, Colson, WAA, Knolls, French, QAA.
No water issues anywhere - all dry.....
It was a bit harder than last year I reckon, with some sand blows on dune tops left over from some easterly winds. Big Red was relatively easy from both sides. Anyone can drive up...... :)
Big Red 12-5-18
Cheers,

Julie .
Just finished our Crossing today via the Rig rd WAA line and Coulsens track .
This was my 4th crossing and I would next time give the WAA and Coulsens a miss and just do the French line , much better trip .
Would have been a better trip if the knuckleheads in the 7 Porsche Cayans heading east were not digging up the track unnecessarily .
Was not a difficult crossing this time .
