Might be very useful. I reckon at the time you're going there will be every man & his dog travelling both ways across the Simpson. You could use a RC aircraft with cam to look over the dunes ahead for the 4wd's & bikes coming toward you without Cb's or flags. Seriously I reckon a lot of care will be needed as it'll be the busiest period & there's bound to be a few bozos who left their brain at home out there, & head ons on top of dunes aren't what anyone wants.Quote:

I went 'wouldn't miss it for the world' and 'travelling with sa crew' but it seams my vote only went the first option. If any?
But it looks a bit quite on the sa front so I might join the vics for the trip.. its the same k's either way weather I got north then west or west then north.

Looks like over my back fence..... Absolutely stunning......
Been into RC and flying for years now. None of my RC planes fit into my car. They have their own trailer..... Camera's into RC planes are quite common now. Along with telemetry and GPS.Quote:

Mate at work is doing Birdsville next month, he just got delivered his meals. Look up gourmet happy camper meals. They are pre cooked meals which do no need to be refrigerated. They look nice too, all home made in Lindenow Vic. I will get some for sure.

Is the 1st July confirmed at Dalhousie and what date take off for Simpson and roughly how long? Have to allocate leave dates for next by this friday...grrrrrr
Meet at Dalhousie on the 1st. Group up and Roll on the 2nd. The crossing could be done in 2 days but I was thinking 4 days with a day in the middle somewhere and not big days. It's a holiday.Quote:

Is there a plan for people wanting to do more stuff before or after the main trip? I want to take minimum 4 weeks and do some exploring and don't want to do it alone

At this stage Chris I will probably take 3 weeks but that might change.Quote:

Open to a chat about it though mate. We should chat in the Victorian Planning thread maybe if there are others that are keen. Could be a few from other states keen to see the Flinders Ranges too so who knows?
How does that sound to you mate?
I'm up for anything. Let's talk at Licola.
