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. |
