Sandflag required for Tibooburra to Birdsville?

"And you should also be using your UHF when attempting/ascening crests...
But you do that... Don't you..??"
Jed it would be totally ridiculous calling out on the UHF every time you were about to crest a dune. Forgetting for a moment what channel we would all select to do this just imagine 10 cars on a 10km section of road all calling out. No one could tell who was where going which way :-)
As for a flag, on those sections of road one is not required & to be realistic at the speeds vehicles are doing along there, by the time you saw the flag the car would be apon you. Best option is to back off for crests & keep left particually from Cameron's Cnr to the Strezlecki.

That was my first thought as well. LOL

We are planning a similar trip in only 4 weeks. With the current floods and road closures the first 2 weeks of our trip would be impossible at present.

I am starting to think we might do the trip back to front. ie check out Ayers Rock, KC, Alice, etc and then hopefully after that things will start to dry out.

It all adds to the adventure.

About the sand flag. Ours cost us $5. I purchased a bright safety vest for $5 and will tape it to an old fibreglass tent pole.

Thanks Teege.

More detailed research and investigation will take place in June. I guess like any travel, you can plan all you like but there is a chance you may need to change them during the trip, depending on the variables at play.

cheers.
