Sorry! The playdo we were with broke a front diff which caused us great problems.

Ordered the desert pass/map thing from exploreoz earlier.

Anyone else likely to be heading West to East around the middle of August?

I have been looking here

Mt Dare Hotel - Simpson Desert Regional Information

and most seems to be open, although some areas are still closed.

Now that the Spring Cr Delts by-pass is now the permanent track to Purni Bore, you see how lovely the Spring Creek Delta is, one of the highlights of our trip.

I'd love to do the Simpson. I have a 155 litre petrol tank and 54 litres of of LPG.

I wonder of that would get me through.

Regrettably, I'll be up on thre Sunshine Coast in August.

Want to see me take my FL2 across The Simpson? I did plan on doing it next year but if you want to hear me on the phone to LR explaining why I need to be recovered from The Simpson I can get things happening now. I've done all my measurements/weights, worked out fuel/water storage 2 spares etc. Land Rover Australia took one across last year unladen although I have my payload down to 400kg.
