Hi Rich
We did it on our own August last year and we are planing to do it again next year we past quite a few vehicles on the way and only one going our way if you travel near to the Birdsville races you will see a lot travelling from Mt Dare
Have a safe one

Leading up to the day of the Birdsville races most traffic across the Simpson travels west to east. Just before the date that the races were supposed to be held on last year we travelled Birdsville to Mt Dare. Before we left Birdsville we dropped in at the park headquarters and found that as most people were travelling west to east there was a heap of spare hire sat phones at Birdsville and a shortage at Mt Dare. The office minder at the Birdsville park headquarters asked us if we could ferry 6 sat phones to Mt Dare which we were glad to do. I wonder how many people have had the luxury of having 6 sat phones on board as they crossed the Simpson ? Don't know if they would have been any use though as they were on the Globestar system :-)

Rich, There are people crossing the Simpson every day during the 'season' You will not have to wait long and someone will turn up heading out across the dunes. I asked someone at the entrance to the canpground if they were heading out and then asked if they wanted to travel within radio range of us and sight each other a couple of times each day as we were travelling the same route - no problems. We also met at least 6 other vehicles each day.
