Simpson French Line or WAA Line ???

Cameron there are about 1100 dunes in the Simpson. They get higher as you travel east. There is not great variation in scenery, just one dune after another. Variations occur according to conditions. When we went through there had been rain so we saw more green than usual as we neared Eyre Creek. Frankly I don't think you go to a desert for scenery nbut rather an appreciation of the vast expanses of sand and scrub and the feeling of isolation! You will enjoy it - it's a bit of a challenge - not so much the driving but the planning and preparation, but the scenery is not a major part of it.

Cameron, Went down the Rig Road,Waa line, Knolls Track and finally the French Line. If you get out of the car, you will see lots of diferent things like plants and animals. Dalhousie, Purni Bore, Mokari Airstrip, The Lone Gum, Approdinna Attora Knolls, Eyre Creek, Poepples Corner, Various lakes and of course Big Red are all must do. Big Red at sunset is one of the most beautiful sights I've seen. You would not want to spend less than 4 nights out there but 6 would be better.Nil Taurus Excretus

Thanks for the tips guys

A good book for any Simpson desert traveller to read is "The Simpson Desert" by Mark Sheppard.

It gives history of exploration ,flora, fauna as well as the ecology.

You should be able to get one from Westprint Maps.
