Hi all,
Am wondering if some of the more 'well travelled' people out there can help us out please.
Some friends are planning a trip out west in September this year we are also heading along. Part of the trip involves crossing The Simpson.
At this point in time we are still in the planning stages and are looking at which is the best way to cross and have heard confliciting reports from various sources and were wondering whether those knowledgeable ones amongst you out there can help out.
The options we have looked at so far are to take the French Line and we would like to know is it better/easier to cross from West to East or East to West.

We are looking to go from here (Newcastle) to Camerons Corner/Innamincka and then either head north thru Cordillo Downs to Birdsville and then cross the Simpson and head up to Ayers Rock and The Alice and then head for home back down thru Coober Pedy etc or would it be advisable to head south from Cameron's Corner along the Strzelecki to Lyndhurst, Marree then onto Coober Pedy and up to Ayers Rock The Alice and then come back down and head for home crossing the Simpson this way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
BigPop
