6000km plus

2500km of dirt roads

28days to do it.

The current route is looking something like this!

Some of the highlights of the journey as I see them are;

Birdsville QLD- "Big Red", a sand dune that is very large and is the 'entry' point to the Simpson desert proper.
Birdsville Track - desert and ruins of stone buildings. 1000 odd km of dirt / desert highway. Stoney Desert area.

William Creek SA- "Lake Eyre" salt lake.
Oonadatta Track - to Lake Eyre. - 500 odd km of dirt / desert highway

Coober Pedy SA - Underground living and Opal Mining.

The Olgas and Uluru NT. - If I need to explain?

Plenty Highway NT to QLD. - 1000km of corrugated shitty dirt road back into QLD across very flat channel country that is interesting for its lack of features.

Winton QLD - A quiet town with a lot of dinosaur evidence. A dinosaur site is $30 entry 20km from Winton.

Longreach QLD - Stockman Hall of Fame and the Qantas birthplace.

Roma QLD - Cattle country, Oil and Gas Museum and Winery
