Hi all out there,
I have looked on at this forum with interest for a while. It is very informative & mostly I can get all the answers I need by doing a search. However, there are a lot of conflicting reports on this subject & I know it is a very touchy one, but I’m going to bring it up anyway & duck for cover. We are planing to do a trip to the Kimberley leaving from Adelaide late August to make it in time for the Birdsville Races. We were then hoping to cross the Simpson Desert (French Line) & continue on from Alice Springs. This is where I’m going to upset some people. Because we will be travelling on & not returning for 3 months, we would like to take our Camper Trailer across the desert with us. It is an off road camper which was built with such conditions in mind. We tow it with a TD 80 Series LandCruiser. We’re not frightened to let our tyres down. We are looking at all other options, but I would like to hear from people who have traveled the French Line from east to west with a trailer to confirm that it is passable & establish how difficult it may be.
Thanks
