depends on how many days you have...
last year we went West from Alice towards Hermansburg (sp?) then into the Finke
gorge Nat. Park to
Boggy Hole. exited the other side of the park on to Ernest Giles Hwy and back onto Stuart Hwy, headed back towards Alice for about 30 klms before turning East to
Chambers Pillar.
Chambers Pillar down the Old Ghan Line to Mt. Dare (can detour to Lamberts centre of Aust. if you like), visit
Dalhousie Springs then through the desert to
Birdsville if the water has dropped enough at Eyre Creek for a full crossing (which is a 50 / 50 call this year apparently).
