Came across three so-called "off-road" largish caravans on the Oodnadatta Track all with problems. Two with broken suspension and one ran out of fuel!!!! No radio between them. But lovely gleaming new vans and cars.

The in the Simpson on the Waa line a couple of bikes pass us. About an hour later the support ute stops for a chat (as you do). The conversation leads me to ask what channel are they using. "Channel???" No radios and here he is one hour behind the bikes with the first aid kit. But he has a satellit phone. And no the bikes do not have anything to call him or help with.

We saw one car (him) in the first two days. More on the QAA and French line on the way out but none on the WAA line where the bikes were.

What the!!!!!
