I remember hearing news that someone was 'lost' on the 'Birdsville'. It wasn't the track, it was the Birdsville. That was almost a death sentence back then. Well provisioned expeditions would set out, and mostly they'd be fine. But individual cars often failed, and we'd get shaky footage ( usually canned ) of the track, with no hope for the poor fools who daed to take on the Outback...
Now, it's a walk in the park. Anyone, like me, miss the old days?? I viewed those blokes the way I did Shackleton or Hilary.
Now, anyone can do it, and go back to pick up the iPhone they left behind.
Sigh, I'm getting old faster than i thought. But I did some things when they were still hard(ish).
