G'day All
After much planning and purchasing, we are off to the Simpson tomorrow, and i cannot wait. The jack is ready, set and go, it has had the once, twice and third going over, running sat nav on his side of the car, running GPS on her side and a dvd player in the middle to enterain the passenger. We are traveling with member Eric and Jim, so if you see us stop for a chat. The trip is going to go the following route
Melb, Bordertown,
port augusta, cobber pedy, oonadatta, dalhousie, mt dare, dalihousie, popels corner and the
birdsville, then hopefully innaminka and
home.
Everyone have safe journeys as i know many of us are out there traveling during these holidays, return safely
home and have awesome trips.

All the best Adam and Razor Girl(figured that should keep some tongues wagging while you're away), regular reports and a couple of pics wouldn't go astray.
Keep it safe and have a ball.

Have a couple of pale ales with Melissa and co at Mt Dare. She may have dropped her little bundle by now (another excuse..... sorry, reason to imbibe).
Have a great and safe trip.

Gee you have it good. Here we are sunning ourselves in
Broome and you are off on a trip on the simpson. I hope 9 nights in
Cape Leveque and
Middle Lagoon will ease our jealousy - leaving
Broome tomorrow.
Cheers

Hi Big Kidz,
I have it on reasonable authority it was raining there the other day - in fact 80mm in 2 days. Cool as
well - doesn't sound like paradise to me!
Think I'll
check it out myself, be there in a couple of months. Suppose it will have dried out by then.
Kind regards

We leave on Saturday too, with a very similar route, except we are heading up via Maree to
Oodnadatta and Dalhousie, then across the Simpson to
Birdsville, and onto Camerons Corner for the Overlander
Forum Gathering. Return trip will take in
Flinders Ranges, and the Barossa, then back to
Melbourne. We are away 3 weeks in total.
I can't wait...

Am sure you guys will have a great trip. Adam and Kir, hope we will catch up as you head South and we head North but wondering which way you will head back to
Innamincka from
Birdsville, well it all depends doesn't it.
Any way have a great trip and don't let Eric play his doof doof music every night at 1.30.
