North Simpson Desert
The North Simpson Desert, in this Map
Guide, is primarily concerned with Dr. Cecil Madigan's track across the
Simpson Desert from Old Andado to Birdsville. The Campsites of his
expedition in 1939 are indicated with (Black dots) and numbered accordingly.
This area is not for the faint hearted, it demands expertise in 4wd
handling, recovery knowledge and experience in dealing with extremely remote
conditions. Travellers should be very well prepared and self sufficient for
any emergency. It is advisable to travel in a party of two or more vehicles.
Some of the area crosses Aboriginal Land and permits should be applied for
if travelling this direction. Camp 24 was not visited due to the
particularly difficult means of getting there by 4x4. This track covers some
beautiful yet rugged terrain, hard on vehicles and people combined. The
ultimate 4wd experience through some of Australia's most pristine red desert
country. |

The Pilbara
The Pilbara region takes in some of Australia?s most beautiful country. From rugged mountain ranges supplying mining companies with enormous volumes of ?iron ore? to the pristine coastal waters of Ningaloo Reef and fabulous fishing locations. Deceptive as all this may be, the Pilbara is still a very remote area criss-crossed with roads and tracks from stations, mining, townships and national parks. Karajini NP and Millstream-Chichester NP offer incredible natural formations that need to be seen to be believed. The mining open cuts at Newman and Tom Price are staggering and offer a constant reminder of this huge industry via relentless iron ore trains, towing 236 trucks at 116 tons each, pulled by three powerful locomotives rolling 24/7. It is an ancient landscape, demanding but amazing, with plenty of blue skies and warm days. A mecca for tourists in all directions with great camping locations. |
