Have got out my diary, so here's the record not just memory! It was July not September for example!

Leave Dalhousie Camp Site - 9 00 am
Mt Dare - arr 11 00 am
Arr Old Andado - 4 10 pm

Leave Old Andado - 9 00 am
Finke - 11 00 am
Lunch at Engordina Siding - 12 55
Maryvale shop - 3 45 (we went across the property which we found after the trip is not permitted - should have kept north along the line till we met the Maryvale track)
Arr Chambers Pillar 6 00 pm after changing a tyre on the trailer on the way.

My diary says of the road from Maryvale to the Pillar "last 20 km to Chambers Pillar is genuine 4wd track - rocky ridges & steep, about 20 dunes. Pretty & fun."

Hope that helps
Max

thanks for the info erekka
did you make any other stops on the way.
thanks heffo

heffo,
No we didn't really stop. Originally we were going to stop at Mt Dare but as we'd already spent a night down there we were keen to get to Chambers Pillar.

When are you plannin on going?

The Finke Desert race is coming up here very soon (long weekend in June I think?) and as a result the track may be worse in which case you would probably want to take it a bit slower and if you are coming through before the long weekend beware of bike riders who seem to be risking life and limb.

cheers erekka
