Shiny Clean

Shiny and clean vehicles at the beginning of the Urandangie North Road on their way to the Plenty Highway and on toward the Simpson Desert.

Quagmire

A quaggy bogmier just north of the Mount Dare Hotel. This was the beginning of a muddy section that went for around a kilometre. A few vehicles took on the mud and spun their wheels for hours to move a few hundred metres further toward their goal of crossing the Simpson Desert. We chose to turn around at this point and let the weather have its way.

Lake In The Sand

A shallow lake behind the Big Red Sand Dune near Birdsville. It was the last thing I expected to see in this desert.

Wind Blown

Thirty kilometres west of Birdsville lies Big Red. The sand dune that signifies the beginning of the Simpson Desert crossing. One day soon I shall return to this place and cross said desert.
