A couple of years ago we made a trip from Wiluna to Birdsville, via the Gunbarrel Highway, then through the Red Centre and finishing off through the Simpson Desert.
The Simpson Desert consists of about 1100 parallel red sand dunes and you will have to cross them all!
The going on the narrow sandy track is very slow, if you make 20 km/h you are fast, and you need at least a couple of days to cross. Careful preparation is essential, because there is no food, water and fuel to be got along the track and, of course, there is no mobile phone reception. You are on your own!

At the end of a day of driving you drive a few metres of the road and there you are … your camping!
