Dear 4wders
A group of us are doing a simpson trip at the end of sept. I was wondering do we need permits to do the finke desert to mt dare and if so where would we be able to get them from. Happy 4wd regards greyemu

I don't believe there are any permits needed for the roads to Mt Dare. What tracks are you actually taking in the Finke Desert?? Craig..........

As I remember you won't need permits to Mt Dare. However you will need a Desert Parks pas to cross the Simpson. You may be able to buy one from Mt dare. Not sure of that so give them a ring. Also find out how much. Not cheap so be prepared.
Have fun.

I think you need
the Desert Parks Pass for
camping in the Simpson, not for crossing it. Am I correct ?

Gee your not going to cross the Simpson without stopping (I hope) so you need
the Desert Parks Pass.
It's got nothing to do with
camping particularly, just being there, and of course you will be
camping. Some parts of the Simpson are private property. But depending on just where you go you could be in the
Simpson Desert National
Park, the
Simpson Desert Conservation
Park, the
Simpson Desert Regional Reserve, or the Witjara National
Park (who cares)
It doesn't matter which route you take you will travel through most of the above.
They sell the passes here on ExOz & I think the price is the same everwhere. What ever the cost is, it's cheap for the experience and they give lots of info in with the pass about the deserts.
Suck it in, it's the challenge of a life time.

Finke to Mt Dare, no permit reqd as public roads,
Simpson Desert SA sections definitely require a DPP and you will receive an on
the spot fine for not having one.
If
camping in the QLD section of the simpson you are also required to a have a permit.

Desert Parks Pass costs $90 (or $60 to renew of you had one last year). Gives you entry and
camping (where relevant) to most of SA's outback National Parks and
reserves for a year. It'll cost a lot more if you get nabbed without one.
Finke to Mt Dare is PAR (public access route) so no permits required.
