February ’14 Photo Comp - ‘Rise & Shine’

[Cuppa]

This month’s competition topic has been chosen by January’s winner, ‘Opinion’ (aka Adrian) all the way from Romania.
His chosen topic is RISE & SHINE’ A topic which is open to your interpretation as usual. Perhaps some early morning faces or maybe a sunrise? You decide. Good luck to all, & to anyone who hasn’t previously participated I encourage you to do so.

This is the same as Last Months competition's thread in that I can only see the last page and if I go to the First Page I get stuck there.

I believe it has something to do with the Conditions on Page one.

My first entry is breakfast at Madigan Camp 20 in the Simpson contemplating how we are going to get past the flooding.


Hey Tony, when dod you do the Madigan mate? Camp 20 was an amazing place. i remember arriving at the water after possibly the hardest section of the trip and the sight of water just blew me away!

Damn that water though! took us the better part of a day to find the stake and find a way around the water! The "Track" was under water and finding it again was a fair challenge.

The Camp 20 Stake was in very poor condition and leaning on a tree and illegible. we had an dremel i the car and one of our group engraved the camp number back on the tag and i re-screwed it to the stake with tek screws and put it back in the ground. Hopefully for another 30 years.

We did the Madigan July 2010 and I think the flooding was at its peek. We did not find the camp 20 stake and could not get across Eyre creek at that point but travelled down the western side for about 60km to the alternate QAA crossing. The trip across took us a few days more than we planned as we constantly had to find alternate routes around flooding but was probably the best trip I have done. Even the trip back along the Birdsville Track was a real adventure as they only just re-opened it.
When were you there?

[liftlid]

We did the Madigan July 2012
Took 7 days, got all camps other than 3,4 I think

From memory camps 3, 4 & 5 are in the aboriginal lands so not allowed to go to them.
I was up that way July 2012 as well, we took the Madigan to camp 2 then detoured off to Geo-survey Hill and the Geographical Centre.
That was a challenging trip as most of it was without tracks.

We had a permit for camp 5,
Did you get camp 1? It was on top of a dune We found no wheel tracks around that one

We went to camp 1 in 2010 but bypassed that section in 2012 and went straight to Camp 1A.

Can someone detail for an "alien" the Madigan Line? If i understand well is a trip with some points that need to be reached? Or something similar?

[liftlid]

The Madigan line is the path the first white men to cross the Simpson desert took on camel, there are 25 camps between old andado and birdsville , Cecil Madigan was the leader and named the desert after the bloke paying the bills in Adelaide, the radio operator was also a Simpson. The path used to be xcountry between the camp gps points but the track is now getting defined, still able to break a hilux though !

Early morning visitor at the Devils Marbles, NT. I disturbed it after it had removed the top off some some sleeping backpackers’ esky & was getting into the ice water. When it noticed me it took off up onto the rocks & sat looking at me.
