This should keep you going for a while if you have not yet read the story behind ExplorOz. Our Travel Journals.

Hi J.T, Last year we went along the oonadatta track, left the dogs and caravan home and went bush. It was a great experience, nearly got bogged a couple of times, but managed to get through ok.Arrived at
Dalhousie Springs for a lovely dip in the hot springs. Then we continued on to
Alice Springs. We had to travel on the old Gan railway line in
places, where the road was under
water.You get to meet some great people when you are traveling around, we still keep in touch with some Kiwis we met on the track, so happy travelling when your time comes.....cheers....Flower.

There are a number of different forums where people post their travel tales, and many members of these maintain their own web sites. I find these all a great read, and it all adds to my future trip planning (or dreaming). Just a few of many (with apologies to members whose sites i haven't listed) which i have enjoyed from members of ExplorOz and caravaners
