The Simpson Desert
The Simpson Desert is one of the great Deserts of the Southern Hemisphere. Although a very remote dry area, there are times when the vegetation gets a little moisture and regenerates. We have chosen July to cross the Simpson Desert just after the winter rains when we hope to see the prodigious regrowth that brings this remarka ble area to life for just a short time.
As well as the unique vegetation we will see many species of native wild life and, possibly feral camels that echo the early exploration and pioneering of central Australia. |

Hay River Track
There is much to see on the Simpson Desert crossing. On this trip we will follow the full length of the Hay River as we head South to Poepples Corner. From Poeppels Corner we will explore some of the creeks and Rivers that flow into Lake Eyre that form the Warburton Groove. It has been a relatively dry couple of years and this is the reason that we have chosen July to attempt this expedition. |

We hope you will enjoy this expedition as much as we have in the past and that you will come away with the sense of awe and respect that we feel for this area and its early explorers and pioneers. |
