Our route from the Port Augusta on the South Australia's Spencer Gulf to Karumba on the Gulf of Carpenteria in Queensland.  We will

pass through the Flinders Ranges, the Strezelecki, Tarari, Sturt Stony and Simpson Deserts in our mission to get from Gulf to Gulf

All smiles at the Spencer Gulf, South Australia 22 March 2009

Entering the Flinders Ranges

First evening camping by the B83 a couple of hours outside Quorn

Enjoying the bitumen to Hawker

Tim hides from the thunder storm outside the tent and plots the route through the Flinders to Parachilna

Early morning ride from Arkaroo Rock, Flinders Ranges

Wilpena Pound

Our first off road riding in to the depths of Bunyeroo Gorge

We settled in at Parachilna for the evening and were treated to this amazing sunset!

On the road again, Tim reads the map at sunrise

A muddy start.  A tricky muddy stretch of bulldust - not fun as the trailers got jammed up and gears full of gunk early on in the journey

to Marree

Remote areas ahead

Yay!  The Birdsville Track at last

The Birdsville Track

Pushing the bike through thick sand in the mid day heat

It's a long hot road

Stock

We're in the proper middle of nowhere now, Simpson Desert Reserve and Warburton Crossing.

This shot was taking before Mungerannie, just about the time Tim couldn't remember my name!

Too shattered to frame the photo properly 311 km from Birdsville. Take note of right leg sock - to protect against the sun to the east

Thank goodness, after 2 days and two nights on the track we arrive at Mungerannie

Tim shows us how far we ridden

Repairing puncture

Typical end of the day shot
