Just a thought Stropp, we might be owed some hopefully honoured cheap rates for Iconic underground complex Coober Pedy motel accommodation for a decent size work crew before heading off to the Pink Roadhouse. As a dirty covid negative Mexican we got stuck in town for 14 days boredom and done a fair chunk of work on Old Mates empty establishment [emoji23][emoji106][emoji106]

Probably July mate and more I think about it the ten year anniversary would be good, 2024 gives everyone plenty of time.

2024 for sure Stropp, I would be super keen for the 10 year anniversary trip.

10 years, where the hell did that just go?

It was a great trip Tony. It just worked, I actually look at this trip as an easy get away with mates.

I promise you’ll love it mate!

Permanent Parks station Volunteer Legends on the Western side (Dalhousie) mentioned that the French was getting seriously chewed up after Eastern side huge parties and procession crossings thereafter. Wonder if the price hike is well overdue to civil works needed after private functions?

Come on people, surely there are more that would be keen for this trip, last time we had About 32 interested to start but 9 starters. Express your interest here.

[DX grunt]

Following. LOL.

[mudski]

Depending on dates this could be a possibility for me the the mrs.

[Hodge]

I have a proposed soft-locked-in Cape York / Tip trip mid-2024. If that doesn't eventuate , I maybe a candidate for Simpson.
Still ages away.

We would definitely need to plan this at least 1 month BEFORE the Big Red Bash as that will attraxk a huge gathering with plenty of double crossings in ans out of that. 1000s of people on Big Red. I'd love to go to the bash but the ticket pricing is a disgrace to be honest.

Yes 100%. While I'd love to attend the BRB. Who can be stuffed with traffic out in the middle of the desert? Not I!

In regards the 2024 BRB and us all crossing quietly prior I can only find online dates for the 2023 BRB at the very start/first week of July.
Thinking we’d be safer looking towards early June-ish 2024 as many will surely cross West <>East to attend/start the BRB in the weeks before too?

Yep so late June Sunday 16th at Coober Pedy gives you 2 days, we will likely leave here mid week so we can do Olga’s and the geographic centre of Oz on the way.

Sounds OK to me Stroppstar Mate [emoji106][emoji106]
Keen for our Youngest Hillian to experience Her first Iconic crossing and just now McGoogled Mexican school holidays 2024. Appears they’re off mid year on the 28th of June 2024 but reckon She’ll learn more than enough (juniour high) taking a week or so off also prior to scheduled curriculum holidays (Desert Pea’s Hopefully Blooming) to beat the W<>E corrugated whoopdedoodoos [emoji23][emoji106][emoji106]

Apologies for snippet cut/paste above Stroppstar [emoji120]
Heads up for your good self & travellers, once in the Park (Uluru-Olgas) you will need at least a ‘campground’ paid up proof to have a brew together within, bars/takeaway etc…
EDIT: Meant within the adjoining tourist region (Not “Park”) apologies [emoji22]
