Anne Beadell - Do I need a sand flag?

Hello there
I am trying to find good info on the trip
We will travel east to west in July
Could you tell me
1.Fuel you used and type of vehicle you had,this is to give me an idea of ours
2.Did you find good camp spots that you would recommend,Like any rock holes or places that would be well worth a stop to recommend
3.Anything of special mention for travelling

I have read the track report, I will be driving 3.5 litre pertol with 170 litres of fuel on board and 50 litres of water.
Thanks

We were in a GU Patrol and a mate was in a 16 year old Hilux ute. Both diesel. There are lots of good campsites all along the track - when get you jack of the corrugations and want to make camp there is never any drama finding a good spot just off the track. There is fuel at the road house about half way and 50 litres of water would be the minimum. We took 11 days and took it easy, but some travellers keep the right foot down and do it in much less. Poor buggers - don't see much, and put their vehicles under enormous stress. It is a beautiful drive if you take your time. If you try to do it in 7 days you probably won't enjoy it and your passengers won't either.
Nats.

Thanks for reply
Camp Sites- was there much in the way of camp sites near any water holes/soaks that are a must stay- we did the Canning and Gunbarrel 2 years ago and enjoyed it, but there was a lot of corrugations.What we found was that we camped at OK spots and then drove a few k's down the track and found a really good spot,wishing that we had gone on a little.If there are any places that you would highlight,let us know just so that we can mark on our map.I realise this is probable difficult to pin point.
Fuel. could you tell me how much fuel you used in the diesels between Coober Peddy and the Roadhouse and again from the Road house to Laverton. Again this only provides me with an approx idea.
Thanks
