Hi abchelle,
Last August/Sept we took five camper trailers acroos the Simpson from West to East. The
Rig Road is the best route and the last 20 sanddunes were hard and the last one was the worst. Wind storms had covered the tops of the dunes and made it difficult.
As Stephen says above make sure you go in a group and take Maxtraxs. We did and they were wonderful - had every other recovery item but only used the Maxtraks and shovels.
A sat. phone and lots of water are essential.
Once we got to the K1 line we went via
Warburton Crossing to join the
Birdsville Track. The
Ranger at Dalhousie organised permission with the owners for us to go through (just so there was no hassles and to
check if it was open)
We had a hard but wonderful adventure. Hope you enjoy your trip.
Cheers,
Bob
