Thread: The recent Simpson Desert Family Saga

Very interesting in fact. My hopes for my OKA is to travel solo to most places. However, seeing that, I doubt I'd tackle something like the Simpson alone.

Organised correctly you won’t have an issue,dry,it’s not much of a challenge.

We have done it twice solo.

It’s a fantastic trip.

Thanks. I really would be solo. Pretty sure that the car would be fine with the correct prep. It has a Codan HF, lots of water storage etc. I definitely want to increase the fuel capacity though.

Just listened/watched this interesting video & it crossed my mind there was a bloke on here a while back that built his own Camper on a truck chassis not unlike this one. He posted many interesting images at the time. I don't suppose this was the same fellah?

I can't recall his name nor from where his journey originated, WA sort of rings a bell.

Thanks for posting GW but I don't suppose I'll ever get the opportunity to do this journey.

I’m going to have to get my skates on and all.

We have done the Simpson 3 times over different tracks ( also the Madigan twice, which I regard as the "North Simpson), no problems. If there is any water think 5 times, or just DON'T

Wouldn't go at that time of year, but yeah, common sense. My OKA weighs 5 Tonnes. It'd go down just like that Canter did.

I worked in the Simpson for nearly two years 55 years ago. If there has been rain or it is expected - don't.
