When planning this trip, there were two key places I wanted to visit and everything else was added while joining the dots. The first is the Flinders Ranges, which will be the final stage of my visit to South Australia. The other was Goog’s Track. Goog’s Track runs north from Ceduna up to the Trans-Australia railway through remote country. Described as a mini-Simpson Desert, it crosses approxi... Read Full Entry

Envy!
Loved it - can't believe how much I'd like to be there and can't understand why, in all the years I've had available to me, I never thought of doing something like this before now.

I can't believe I haven't done road trips like this and my WA one last year before. The Breakaways were a good consolation considering I can't quite make it to the Painted Desert on this trip. I recommend checking it out though, even if you go to the Painted Desert as well. It's a quick visit.

Off the beaten track
We enjoyed your blog. All those unknown left turns take on adventure. Love the photo of you with the netting.... those dang flies.

Thanks
The fly net is the best $10 I spent preparing for this trip!
