G'day Willie,
Thanks for your response and I will take your advice and post my e-mail address. Yes, I am from North America. I have been planning this adventure for over 4 years. This will be my 6th trip to Australia. My first real adventure. I have done the tours, which started this desire to get into the real outback. My wife and I have done the
Kimberley in a rental vehicle. Tours, tag alone tours and rental vehicles are just too expensive for what I want to do and the time needed to do them. I have seen the Alice on each trip, but have not ventured into the outback deserts. After reading about Len Beadell and his life’s work I decided that I wanted to see as much of the extreme Australian interior as possible in the short time I have given myself.
If anyone is interested in meeting up to tag along for a short or long distance or just possibly wants a lift from central Australia to the Western Coast or to Queensland please respond. As stated earlier I plan to travel from
Melbourne beginning in May 2004 through some of the South Australian Deserts. June I hope to be into Northern Queensland (
Cape York) then returning south in the interior of Queensland to
Roma. July I will continue back north in outback Queensland heading for
Normanton and the Gulf
Treks then on to Len Beadell’s Gunbarrel Hwy. This is just some of what I plan. Eventually I will be traveling to
Darwin after returning to the Alice, then onto The Kimberleys and
Broome and down the coast to
Perth. From
Perth I will continue to the Southern Australian coast across the Nullarbor back to
Adelaide and possible returning to
Melbourne in late October 2004. I especially am looking for a 2nd vehicle to travel the Original Gun Barrel Hwy from Jackie
Junction to Giles in early August. Two vehicles are needed for the permits.
If interested in traveling with me for a day, week or longer please respond.
