Target "Big Red"

Start of the journey the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka The Track to Gurra Gurra Waterhole Gurra Gurra Waterhole along the Strzelecki The Track to Merty Merty The old Strzelecki can be pretty wet!
Driving on wet tracks is fun, spectacular and dangerous at the same time Going further north The track to Cullyamurra waterhole, the biggest permanent waterhole north-east of Innamincka Cullyamurra waterhole Burcke's grave near Cullyamurra waterhole
Exploring some sand dunes Trying to reach the top of a table mountain View from the car On top of the mountain, you can see (the salt) Lake Caliabonna in the Strzelecki Desert The very desolate area around Mt. Hopeless
The front of our Land Cruiser after driving a muddy track The Birdsville Track after some rain The track does contain some creeks as well We were always happy to reach the other side Mungarennie Gap the start of Sturts Stoney Desert
Sturt 1845: Other deserts there are, but they present not the iron shod appearance of this desperate region You see you don't need a 4WD to reach Birdsville, even in the wet season. But as you can see this Renault Fuego is almost completely covered with mud. The lady driver has been lucky to reach Birdville. (Actually she left the car behind and flew back to Melbourne) The magnificient Big Red on the border of the Simpson Desert The gate to the Simpson On top of the Big Red
