Hi Guys,
About to take off for 7 days from
Adelaide to
Ceduna then north along
Googs track and back down between the Lakes Harris and Everard through the
Gawler Ranges and back to
Adelaide.
Any suggestions from anyone who has done part or all of this trip re camping spots/firewood etc would be appreciated.
I am assuming the terrain will be similar to the Simpson (which I did recently).
Cheers
Huggy

Recommend the
camp at the base of Mt Finke for a night -
well worth the trek to the top - there is a cairn from an early explorer up there (southern most of the two tips as I recall). Googs lake has good sposts to
camp too - no water at all anywhere probably - and temps could be quite high - firewood ? 30 April is usually the end of the fireban season and there is a lot of thick scrub over there.

Googs Track has smaller dunes than the Simpson but last time I was there they were severely chopped out on the southern side due to people driving with wrong tyre pressures.
It is a good run however. Have a look
here
Cheers

About to head off???? It will be 48 in the shade atm. Fire wood won't be needed as it'll be 35 at night lol.
It's a great trip, just not sure if this time of year is ideal.
