Has anyone recently done any cross country driving in the
Simpson Desert. I am interested in going north from the QAA Line or French Line, passing to the east of the Atnetye aboriginal land, and on up to the Plenty at Tobermorey. Alternatively, following the
Madigan Line from Old
Andado to
Birdsville slipping through the Finke aboriginal land where it narrows down to nothing. I know Willie Kempen came south from
Jervois Station to
Birdsville many years ago in Suzukis and the Range Rover club of Victoria went past Atnetye to Marqua Station and on to the Plenty 2-3 years ago, but there is no other info on the internet, but I am sure other people must have done something interesting.

I would like to do that myself, I have read Willem's report too and we came across a guy in an Oka who was doing it until he broke a CV joint and was waiting for parts at
Birdsville last time we crossed the Simpson.
I think however that the greenies and those who want to lock us out of
trails will use those examples and others to lock us out of the Simpson.
