Simpson Desert open for full crossing

Not everyone will help you though - we got stuck and it was an effort to get help - indeed one was laughing at our misfortunes go figure.

Hi Cookie1...
I may have given the impression that I travel around relying on the aid and goodwill of fellow travellers...in fact that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, I do much of my touring solo and when I do I always err on the side of caution and would not have attempted Eyre Creek last year had I been the only vehicle there. When alone I always take the chicken track, or go round the claypan if it looks a bit wet, or the easy way over the dunes...if there is an easy way.
I love going into remote areas but only if my resources and experience are such that I can fend for myself properly.
Cheers
Tony

Did something stop your progress at Lindsay Junction or was that simply your turn around point ?
MM

Just a turn around.
We followed the WAA Line across but we couldn't get right thru due to flooding. Turned south to the Lone Gum and along the Rig. Up the Knolls to Lindsay and back.
We were told access to Poeppel's was difficult but did meet some groups who had come down the Hay so it may have been reachable.

Gerday,

We are still waiting on a group that left Birdsville a couple of days ago to get here, we will have the full picture then.

Sorry I'm going to miss you DL - I'm here and you will be there! Have fun.

Hey Ruth

We'll be there too at the end of August. Any chance you'll be there then?

Cheers

Peter and Jan

Hello Strangers! Probably going to be - just been organising holidays - be at the old house, around the corner from the new project. Be looking for you - oh you lucky things going to do the Hay.
Be good to see you!
