I may make it an annual event.
There is plenty of different tracks and themes possible for the area.
Good practice, R&D, shakedown trip for anyone considering Simpson Desert, Canning Stock Route type trips.

A mate of mine is just back from his second Simpson trip. He has the luxury of a prado grande. Your trip just seems more suited to a Sierra. Look forward to reading the trip report and seeing the pics. Stay safe.

I'm leaving Melbourne on Saturday morning,
Along with one Jeep Club member.
So I will be at Pink Lakes Campground chilling out and waiting.
Others are welcome to join us, or make your own way up when suits you.
Will be leaving Pink Lake camp late Monday morning if anyone is coming up Monday morning.
Exact times will be posted later in week.
