Cheers Mates,

My name is Oliver and I'm a 25 year old backpacker from Switzerland.

I'm driving a Nissan Patrol GQ 4.2l patrol. I'm driving around Australia and do some striking tracks. I drove the Borderline Track, I was on Moreton Island, Fraser Island, drove to the Tip on the OTT and the Old Coach Road through the Palmer River Goldfields. Australia is just fantastic :)

Now I would like to cross the Simpson on the Frenchman Track from East to West. I know this is the harder line but I guess it's possible.

I have 95 litter in the fuel tank and 120-140 litter in jerry cans. Is this enough? I drove many times in sand but sand is not sand. Are there some areas which I can go on higher air pressure? On very soft sand I have 16-18 psi.

Is somebody doing the same around the end of Jun? I'm travelling with three German girls.

Cheers,
Oli

I'm sorry, if I dropped this thread on the wrong place
