Patrol across the Simpson

[Dr Gary]

Fantastic pics .... would love to do something similar soonish. Just out of curiosity how long did you take for the trip ?

The way we went, it was via Longreach, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs to Mt Dare, with a little sightseeing along the way. One night at Mt Dare, three nights on the Simpson and one at Birdsville. Total was 13 days. The desert crossing was quicker than we planned, but it was too hot to stop mid afternoon, and there is not much to see once you leave Dalhousie Springs. That could be another night if you like to soak. Purnie Bore is not worth the stop.
Recommendation--go early--June/July for road conditions and weather.
