Hi All,
As indicated last year, we will be crossing the
Simpson Desert after the Mt Dare Opening Bash in May. We will take a line similar to Reg Sprigg and family's first west-east motorised crossing in 1962 through the North Simpson.
As Eyre Creek and the Mulligan are still up, it may
well be that we won't be able to get to
Birdsville but return to Mt Dare after Poeppel.
This is a serious raw desert excursion and should be fun. A small number of suitable equipped vehicles similar to Madigan requirements are invited to cross with us. The intention is to raise money for Breast Cancer Research (Pat is a two time survivor) and each vehicle is to raise $3000 sponsorship.
I hope some of you find it interesting.
Regards
