G'day all,
Just back from 4 weeks travelling with the family from Warrnambool to Uluru,
Kings Canyon &
Alice Springs and we loved it! Got the red dust out of the caravan and vehicle and after a week back at work looking forward to the next trip, just not sure where to go!
We would like to do the
Oodnadatta Track but will probably do this in a couple of years (kids will be older, also would like to do that with another family that wont be able to do that next year). I like the idea of checking out the
Flinders Ranges however I'm thinking we'd need to go with someone else (It would be good to go 4wding while we are there, safety in numbers!), what other areas are
well worth looking at on and acheivable with
young kids on a 3-4 week time frame?
Looking forward to suggestions,
Derm

How about central QLD - as far as
Winton (
Lark quarry) then head back toward
Emerald,
Blackwater down to
Theodore Miles and central NSW. Fantastic free camps on waterholes and rivers - some even with hot showers

Hi Derm
Oodnadatta and
Birdsville Tracks are Hwy with big traffic, and you don't need "numbers".
First vehicle in group always win as rest of vehicles don't see much for dust....they are loosers in a group. That's why we stayed for 11years...almost 12years solo drivers.
Ciao Dana

Thanks for the
feedback Dana, not so concerned about travelling in numbers on these tracks, more that we have friends who are keen to do it too but can't til 2014, willl think about your comments about the dust though, hadn't considered the vision!

it is not only dust, but even a noise.
Travelers in first vehicle see it all, in second vehicle may catch glimpses of it and rest just have to listen about it.
