Just remember that at some point heading east from Dalhousie , probably around Poeppels you have to decide whether to continue to Eyre Crk and possibly cross it or turn back due to fuel capacity.
Bear in mind also that if you are the first group to try and find a way through the flooded country it will take days and lots of fuel to find a way through.
What usually happens is a group from
Birdsville will find a route around the flooded areas after taking a plane flight to plot a route.
Coming in from the west all you can do is head north and hope to drive around the top of the flood and/or get down to the top crossing of Eyre crk.
Having done exactly that years ago it took an extra 3 days and a couple 100k's of extra distance and it was only because we met a group coming from the east who had done most of the hard work that we got through at all.
Stay away from dark
grey ground! it is bottomless ;-)))
