Hello All
Well I am back from my Simpson +
Flinders Ranges trip. The trip went
well for all (apart from the rat bite), the
Birdsville track was like a highway and the
Oodnadatta track was like a super highway,
the desert and the French line was thick with plant life to the point that the track was rather narrow. We camped just out side
Hawker the first night then Mungeranie, then
Birdsville on the way up and on the way
home we camped at Eringa creek ,Farnia and
Leigh Creek. Fuel on the trip varied from $1.74 at
Leigh Creek to $2.29 at Mt Dare and
William Creek. When in the Flinders we turned of at
Copley and then turned rleft again and followed a track through some stations and entered Arkaroola the back way. This track took about 5 hours and was for me the best part of the trip. we then travelled
home via a few gorges. unfortunately I now have to go back to work to save up and prepare for the next trip, not sure where yet.
