Thanks for the info Ian,
We're heading from
Ceduna,
North up Googs then
Coober Pedy,
Oodnadatta and Dalhousie, across the French Line to
Birdsville, down the 'track' to
Leigh Creek and through the Flinders to
Port Augusta then heading
home to
Perth, so
Iron Knob will be on our way back. We won't be travelling through to Mt Ive but is worth keeping in mind for the future.
My father worked at the
Whyalla Shipyards in his youth and when I still had hair, (and freckles) we visited the area a few times and I seem to recollect that there were three hills named
Iron Knob, Iron Duke and Iron Baron. I don't think there is much left of these landmarks now.
Regarding your comments about unprepared travellers, I have an acquaintance who is inexperienced and intending to travel the CSR in April, without VHS, Sat Phone, EPIRB or sand flag!
I've told him that apart from being the wrong time to travel that route, he really should think about his communications. His response was that 'I don't need that s***t.
I guess it takes all types!
