This where all the photos people took are going.
I didn't take much.
Was a heap of fun, and great learning experience,
but they are bit of a wild bunch for a boring old sod like me)
Crawler gears weren't a problem at all.
Though unneeded for sand, it did enable more control.
Xoe is no sandbuggy, but will handle the Simpson dunes,
if I lucky enough to go.

Great to see you enjoyed a bit of sand Chris.
I had a bit of a play over there between the Coorong and Beachport myself a few years ago. Some of the big long hauls can suck up the power. [air down some more].
If you can handle those, the Simpson won't be too much trouble, just remember there is about 1200 dunes and you will be towing a trailer.
That said when I did it last it was in a stock sierra towing a small trailer and only failed to cross 3 dunes first attempt.
I am hoping to be able to attend the Nov. meeting to talk to people interested in having a go at Simpson April-May 2013.
