This is A follow up to thread 95360.
Well we are now on our way to do the Simpson. But as mentioned I was keen to visit the track over the top of
Lake Torrens on the way.
Well a couple of days ago we got to do it. I contacted the owners as some of you suggested and they confirmed that the track is open. Track took the best part of a day to complete (from
Farina to
Roxby Downs). While it had some minor challenges it wasn't all that tough, but was heaps of fun.
The trek was a pleasure from the perspective of the different terrain and landscapes that we got to enjoy. I would highly recommend it.
Some parts reminded me of the western end of the Simpson. So it was a good warm up as
well.
Regards
Geoff

Would agree that the
Mulgaria run is a good drive with plenty of interest along the way. We did it about this time last year, and ended up spending a night on the track after having a bit of an adventure in a big wash-out. Only saw one other group of vehicles between
Farina and
Andamooka, so it feels like you are quite remote.
We thought at the time it would be a good run for anyone unsure about doing the
big desert runs as there is a bit of everything, just on a smaller scale. We wrote a blog about it
here
Cheers,
Val
