  • Hello and welcome back to another episode!
    This week we head spend a few days in Alice Springs preparing for our Simpson Desert Crossing. We spend one afternoon out at Simpsons Gap in the West Macdonnell Ranges and the following day hit the road and head for the geographical centre of Australia. We never thought it would be easy getting to the centre, but we were pretty lucky we made It in one piece. But what we found out there blew our minds!

    Your episodes can’t come around quickly enough. Such a great job with this one, and focusing on a place I’m so looking forward to going to myself - the geographical centre of Oz. Truly stunning spot which you captured so well.

    Scenery/photography: brilliant, story line/banter: engaging, natural sound track: exceptional and for the first time I noticed the music complimented the location/mood! You guys are really pulling this video stuff together to a new level.

    you should turn your exhaust clamps to the side or face upwards so the ends of the thread don,t get burred over on the rocks

    Did those exact roads up to Lamberts Centre of OZ in June this year.
    And yes, I thought that the Plenty was rough till we got on the Ghan Heritage Rd, to be topped off with Lamberts!!
    Great stuff, keep it coming!!

    I'm gearing up for the Simpson next year. A party of 4 vehicles. we are planning on crossing via the south end on the WAA line.
    i have googled the Santos exploration and it is hard to find anything on their bulldozer trips across the desert. they crossed it so many times. now that would have been an adventure. no road in front, just a compass and a coordinate point to aim at.
    keep up the great work.
    P.S. get that turbo fitted, with a straight 3 " stainless exhaust.

    I remember cruising that 12kms to Lamberts Point in my 2002 Hilux back in 2018 and geez, it was so rough! I came through the Great Central Road and the other rough part was the stretch between Giles and Warburton. Did you see any rock wallabies at Simpsons Gap? I miss travelling out there
