I would love to do it Stroppy as I retire next April, but I know that my health will not allow it old mate.
I don't think I could even do it now:driving2::SNruQWn369624407::cheers:

From there off to oodnadatta and Dalhousie, setup camp and next day a trip into mount dare and back, around the 6th head across the French line taking 4 days, conquer big red then into birdsville for a rest day then haddons corner , Cameron’s corner and from there us gropers will head back and down the strezleckie track and home! Please respond if you are definitely interested, this will be an epic trip and if anyone is after a bigger challenge then you are welcome to come west and do the Anne Beadell with us.

Wow...this is a pretty cool idea. Will not be able to guarantee my attendance though. Still in limbo with my health and income.

Always been keen to take on something like this. Fingers crossed.

Great idea Stropp!

Before I think even more about this I have one question.

How would I go being on petrol?
I can carry 210l in total, I know that it's going to be a very expensive fuel bill, but how far is it inbetween stops for unleaded.

About 640km from Mount dare to bridsville.
Reported on FB a 100 series 4.7ltr v8 petrol used 154L for that stretch.

Cheers mate.

Would that be the longest between unleaded fuel stops, if so I'll be ok as long as I get approval from the bank [emoji1787]

I have a Simpson trip planned for next month with a few mates, probably a loop rather than a crossing because of the flooding of Eyre creek. Still keen to do this trip too with the patrol mob.

Alot of the Vic crew are at Licola ATM, but I'm sure that they will be happy to read that you're in. I think we have met once before somewhere along the forum trips..

Hope the next 12 months are not too bad and we'll see you on this trip..
