Hi Ron and Viv Moon have a great book called Across the Bight & Nullabor. which is full of good reading and information. Good thing with this sort of book is that not only do you get knowledge beforehand but something to refer to along the way
Enjoy your trip

Cheers Teza

Hi Tuck,
There are a few places along the old telegraph track west of Eucla which are now sand dunes, or totally overgrown with mallee. But basically you can traverse the track from Eucla to Red Rocks Point (roughly south of Madura). The track then disappears. You can rejoin a later track from Madura (back from the ocean a fair way, below the scarp) which will take you through to Burnabbie with a track south to Eyre. Then head north back to the highway. Got some info incl waypoints and plots for Ozi if you drop me an email:

cheers
Gerry
