Big Red Oct 2006

Hasn't the vegetation suffered with the burying..... Hardly recognise it from July the previou year.

Was having the same thoughts. We were there in Sugust / September 05 and it looks pretty different now to what it did then.

From that perspective Big Red looks like a doddle...lol

I am sure it is easier to drive now than the first time I tried to cross it in 1987.
Still, last time I had to take the nursery slope(the one pictured) to get over...lol

The desert is always changing.

Jee things change quicky, Late July this year, watched a bog stock 40 series petrol tray go over the same route in low first. We went up in high range auto, in a 100 series TD, bit different I guess. Tried the steeper section to the left, had a couple of goes but went over with the front wheels in the air. Amazing what difference time makes, and a turbo and chip.........

When we were there in 05 I had numerous attempts at getting over in a 3.0 Patrol and finally made it after many attempts. A few years earlier in a 2.8 Pajero it was almost a walk in the park. Very interesting how different it is year to year.
