What sort of dates would you Vic blokes doing the double crossing be looking at leaving?
Not sure on exact dates myself but If I'm doing the double run but I probably won't be doing the flinders for long if at all.
I really don't want to take much more than 2 weeks.
I went to book 4 weeks off and accidentally hit 5 weeks, and it got approved haha. I don't think I'll take that long off thgh.

I have both my permits for the great central rd cost nothing for WA and NT free of charge, its just the south aussie parks pass at $150 that charge!
So which permits will those who are doing just the Simpson be needing??
Am I correct in thinking we only need the 1 For the Simpson itself??
thanks to winnie if you read up on the desertparks pass itQuote:

yes you need a south aussie desert parks pass but cannot apply for it until 6 weeks prior to travel
That's a pain I'd rather do it now to get it out of the way... hope we don't all forget hahaha.
What is this Simpson desert trip everyone is talking about?? ;)
How long you been on the whiskey for today? bahahaQuote:

No need they get 100's of 4x4 during season last year we had to wait in line.Quote:

Do speak that dirty word in my presence ! Wash your mouth out!Quote:

Hey Darren, how long before the 1st of July (which is the official date for the meet at Dalhousie) do you plan on leaving home? I've got the whole week prior to it off, and have to account for the drive to Birdsville and across the desert.
I've done it twice in a hilux...lol
It sucked big time, engine actually blew in our friends hilux on the first trip that was a mammoth nightmare!!!
Hilux unbreakable!Quote:
