    It is 504 km from Mt Dare (last fuel) to Birdsville (first fuel) There is nothing between that resembles a supply of anything except sand!!!
    Magazine article says around 180 litres for a full size 4x4
    That 504 is using the French Line-basically a straight line and the shortest feasible route.
    You wind up at Poepples Corner, turn north for 20K then east on the QAA line to Birdsville. You need a Queensland Parks permit for QAA-and they (Q.Parks) don't seem to now how to get the permit--they told me to call the local ranger!!!
