You indicate that you are interested in the first half of the Madigan to the Hey River track, this is a great section and I would encourage you to do it. The track gets very difficult beyond the Hey River intersection and I would say its by far the most difficult. We spent 3 days in Low 1st driving continuous Wombat holes at full flex side to side. Full on.
The half your keen on is good fun and you should not have a great deal of trouble. I think I have the way points too. LiftLid also did this and did most of the prep for our crossing and would be a great source of info on permits and what have you for camp 5 etc.
We did the full length and found from camp 1 through to 24 I think. I used 210 lts of fuel in my GUIvTD42. I used the most in my group. Fuel ranged from I think about 180lt to 210 lts.
Camp 1 was difficult to find as there was legitimately No Track to this location. The track was intermittent for the first couple of days. You really are driving from way point to way point on your GPS and using track where it exists and driving rough when it doesn't.
Hope that helps some.
Yell out if you need anything more or post here and I will happily input whatever I can. Gary may chime in also.
