QAA line to Poeppel Corner

From Birdswille to Big Red it is good unsealed road. From Big Red to Poeppel corner sand dunes. Soft sand on top and firm stuff in between, but may be lots of ruts. Some people carry trailers, but it became very slow exercise. In my personal opinion does not worth effort, but YMMV.

Mark, I understand that next year Desert Park Passes will bar trailers on the Simpson next year. I was did that area back in July and the dues were cut up by people from the school holiday perdiod a week or so before who didn't drop their tyre pressures. It should be a requirement.

Despite Serg's comment above, the lower you go with tyre pressures the easier you will go in the sand, trailer and all! I had quite a heavy trailer when I went and low tyre pressures ;-)) I only had trouble twice and it was just a small tug each time.

Lots of blow holes on the QAA line a few months back but otherwise ok. It was fairly quiet and hadnt been chopped up like the French Line had.

Hi Mark
I went from Birdsville to Poeppel Corner on 18th July, after talking to a ranger at Innamincka who told me up to 165 vehicles were using the QAA line daily.going west the dunes were not too bad but seemed to have large corrugations on the west side of the dunes, but it only takes a bit of wind to change that. I came down the K1 line no problems there I would think with a trailer, it runs mainly between dunes and along lakes.

Was fairly easy at start of july for us towing a bike trailer with no bikes weighing around 500kg.

Actually , the most fun was before Big red as the lake across the road was still some 200m wide but no more than 1/2 meter deep so everything got a good wash and several vehicles who didn't drive straight down the middle required some assitance.

All OK 2 weeks ago....There was quite a few C/Ts out and about (must have been a special on KKs !!!)

G`day Mark,
I went across from Birdsville to Mount Dare and back on to the Warburton Track last month.
Have a read of " Simpson Desert Double Crossing Trip Report" in the Blogs you might get a bit of info from that.
Go for it.
