Three car loads of SA dwellers just came through the
Simpson Desert - had a wonderful three days, full of adventure and very high sand blows on tops of dunes. They soon learnt to drop their tyre pressure (much lower than they expected to) and apart from the excitement of cresting one dune and ending up close to the passenger wall as they came over which necessitated a tow and a winch to straighten them up, they had a wonderful time. They came direct along the French Line and could report that, at the present time (meaning this could change, as it does) travelling east to west would be the more difficult due to dishing under the sand blows on the eastern side of the dunes.
As
well two car loads arrived today to be the first to travel up the
Hay River this season.
It's all happening, happy
camping everyone.
