Hi Guyz

We are planning a trip to Australia and are planning to travel during the third week of April from Adelaide to Alice Springs with a 4WD vehicle through some outback tracks.

We have already found a lot of information on this great website (many thanks by the way), but were wondering whether the trip we envisage is not too difficult. We are two rather unexpirienced 4WD drivers (comming from Belgium we drive these vehicles mostly on paved roads in 2WD mode).

Please find hereunder the places we would like to visit (I know the itiniraire still needs some work). We would basicaly use the Oodnadata track but use also the side roads to visit the painted desert and lake eyre. Reading the story about the tourists that got stuck on their way to lake Eyre got us kinda worried. So we would like to know whether this trip is too difficult or not. We would envisage to rent a 4WD Safari from Britz.

1. Adelaide - Wilpena Pound
2. Wilpena Pount - Mulloorina
3. Mullooeina - Coward Springs
4. Coward Springs - Lake Eyre
5. Lake Eyre - Coober Pedy
6. Coober Pedy - Oodnadata
7. Oodnadata - Dalhousie Springs - (Mt Dare)
8. (Mt Dare) - Dalhousie - Blood Creek - Finke
9. Finke - Ayers Rock
10. King's Canyon - Alice Springs

Any feedback is helpfull.

Many thanks in advance

Gert & Emmelie
