Eric,
I'm planning a round trip (Innaminka/
Birdsville) with the the boys and their boys (6 blokes and 5 lads) around the mid year. Trying to sort out dates as they are coming from 3 states and the holidays dont gell. but taking then out of school is not an issue.Great learning trip for em. If we cant travel with you we can certainly meet up somewhere ..what you reckon ?

Hello Eric
I am most likely going to be somewhere out in the western deserts at that time but you never know where I may turn up. The problem with school holdays is that there will be standing room only on Big Red. If you are going north from SA then you must go through
Birdsville to get to Big Red unless you come up the K1 line from
Warburton Crossing or via the
Rig Road and the French Line. This year I happened to visit
Birdsville and environs in May and in September. Before that I visited last in 1987.
Birdsville has changed dramatically since those times and is the growth centre of Queensland these days with new houses appearing throughout the town. The last frontier is disappearing fast.

Eric SA hols are different time to Vic hols next June so bear that in mind. I'm hoping to go from
Cameron Corner across the Simpson next June, the Vic hols finish when ours start though.
