I have today uploaded my story of the recent trip to the
Cleland Hills, which lie west of
Alice Springs.

Good report Willem,
Needless to say I am jealous!!
Can I ask what the "Strict Conditions" you had to adhere to, to obtain the permit?
I've got to within about 10kms of Mt Winter last year but turned back.
When I was at the canyon last year I asked the helicopter pilots how much to fly me to Mt Winter and back. Cost - $2800 with two hours on the ground. I said no.
Cheers

Basically where we could and could not
camp
Which direction did you come in from towards Mt Winter.

I came from the south east along that track that heads pretty much straight towards the mount but ends in a T-
junction maybe 3 to 5 kms from it. I did many day trips in the area when I was there, that trip was the furthest west.

Yep. That track is very overgrown from the
T junction towards the south east. I didn't explore it as we had other things on our mind.

G'day Willem,
I enjoyed the read, thanks. It is comforting that there are still bits of this country not easily found and that it is still possible to have adventures that have you feeling like an explorer. I know that with all the electronic gear these destinations will be easier to find in the future, sad in some ways.
Wish I was retired and doing these type of trips - just have to wait another 5 years or so.
Kind regards
Theo
