Only 8 Weeks to go before we head of to the Simpson via the SA gathering in the Flinders.
Question 1. I head out of
Oodnadatta to
Hamilton then Delhousie & Mt Dare for fuel refill. To save covering the gound from Delhousie to Mt Dare twice, can I go to Mt Dare via Eringa &
Bloods Creek or would this add too much in the way of KM.
Question 2. The road from MT Dare to Alka Selzer
bore requires a permit. Who from ? Thought that this may be another way to go if permit was avail.

Hi Vince,
From
Oodnadatta you can come via
Hamilton and then onto
Eringa waterhole (the station
Sydney Kidman owned) that is splendid with water at the moment and then the
ruins at
Bloods Creek ( Ted Colsons old station) before getting to Mt Dare. After Mt Dare you can go to Dalhousie via Federal so as to not double up on tracks.
The Homelands track past Oasis and Alka Seltzer
Bore is through aboriginal homelands and is closed for normal traffic and used only in an emergency during flooding. For permission try Dean Archee, the
ranger at
Dalhousie Springs.
Hope this helps,
the desert is a delight at the moment.
Regards
Ian @ Mt Dare

hey Vince,
No need to book camping but do need to book accomodation or meals. If in doubt give us a bell from Oodna.
Cheers
