Simpson, east to west

I find it easier from the west because fewer vehicles travel in this direction and even though its a little steeper, the approach to the dunes is not as chopped up from people with too much tyre pressure or trailers.

The Spring Creek Delta can take a little while to dry out after rain. From what they say in the deset parks bulletin, you can do a loop from Birdsville and maybe come out along the K1 Line at Clifton Hills.

Advised on my sched last night (Saturday) that the delta is now open (detour made round by the locak ranger). dp- VKS737 HF radio network.
Love the bush - stuck in the city - help.

Have done West to East in the Suby, that is the easiest way as the dunes are a lot steeper on the eastern side. I think about 75/80pc of crossings are done from the west. We only met powerful 4WD's going east to west. ( or very lightly loaded ones ). Cheers "D"

I just did French Line west to east last week and it was all open but there may have been rain since. The salt lake heading north from Poepell Cnr to QAA was a little muddy but easily passible. The visitos book at Poepell Cnr showed about one vehicle a day on average in last weeks. Spoke to a german who had just done the Rig road and he said it was difficult to get across teh dunes.

Good Luck
