Going Solo across the Simpson

Thanks for the reply - little confused by your answer though.

When we did the Simpson trip in 2001, we started as a 'solo' vehicle- and got to Birdsville in a convoy of 5 other 'solo' vehicles- and that was in May..
and we've had the pleasure of doing more trips with some of those people since..

In May 04, I did a trip from West to East on the Gunbarrell, took 5 days and saw only 1 tagalong (Of course it was just as I started to relieve myself in plain view). then South along the Finke and again saw only 1 car, was 1 other car at Chambers Pillar (Got a great view of the Lunar Eclipse). Then the Simpson, stopped off for a few Bourbons at Mount Dare and I think I was the only one there. There was a few campers at Dalhousie Springs but again I saw only one other car traveling East to West, I took 4 days. Then did the hard yards and drove back to Sydney with only a 3 hour stop at Orange.
