Chris Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 We are crossing these Highways in a few days time and wonder if anyone has recent know.edge of the track conditions. We are aware that the Birdsville races will be on soon and there is increased traffic on the road between us and Bedourie as a result. if you see us in the road stop and say hello. We have a gold LC200 series and Top Ender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Well, we have arrived in Alice Springs after completing a crossing of the Donohue and Plenty Highways. It was not too bad overall, given how late in the season it was, but very dusty as you would expect. I have written two trip reports and am putting them up now as we have been offline camping in the West Macdonnell Ranges near Alice Springs. If you enjoy the reports, I would love to hear your feedback Stage 6 August 2017 Carnarvon Gorge to Boulia.pdf Stage 7 August 2017 Boulia to Alice Springs.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks Chris for a great report. All going well we plan to do a the same trip to Alice Springs next year. I shall probably read your reports several times before then. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
