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]

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

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.Quote:

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]
