AllOffroad 4x4 | Simpson Desert Remote 2023 Part 4 - Change of Plan, low on fuel. @AlloffroadAu | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 minute ago.
Dive into the latest adventure of our Simpson Desert 4WD journey, where the quiet of the desert at dawn quickly gives way to the unpredictability of the outback. This episode sees us adapting to the unexpected as technological challenges and the wild Australian landscape put us to the test.
Our expedition leads us to the majestic vistas of a salt lake and across the rugged tracks of the French Line. At Poeppel Corner, we pause to appreciate the solitude and history of this remote location. However, the desert's serenity is contrasted by the urgent need to revise our travel plans—unexpected flooding forces us to consider alternate routes while the critical issue of fuel supply looms over us.
Braving the jarring corrugations near Hay River's southern end, we choose an old mining track, determined to forge ahead despite the recurring troubles with our sand flag. The day's travel ends in the tranquil Gidgee Grove, where the simple joy of a bush shower and a delectable campsite dinner await us.
As evening falls, I thoroughly test the capabilities of my Lazer Liner Elite before settling down for a late dinner under the starlit sky. This episode is not just about the journey but the challenges and changes that come with exploring the heart of Australia. Join us as we capture the essence of remote travel and share the unbridled beauty of the Simpson Desert.

We tackle one of the most stunning technical 4wd tracks in NSW. Its called Mt Airly but more correctly is the ascent and descent of Genowlan Mountain towards Genowlan Point. In attendance Steve and Vicky in their short wheelbase Jeep JKs, Brent as trip leader in his short-wheelbase Jeep TJ and john John and myself in the Hilux. We certainly had no shortage of adventure with broken axles, tyres of the bead and the use of the winch...")

On this Simpson Desert 4wd Adventure, we are only two cars, Steve in his Landcruiser Troop Carrier and myself with my 13-year-old daughter Summer in the Landcruiser 105. In this episode, we are making our way towards the Simpson Desert and Explorer along the Oodnadatta Track. I always wanted to sleep inside one of the Old Siding Stations, and my wish came true this time. Old Peak Telegraph station is something I drove past many times (as its a 25km detour), but this time we managed to explore it, and I can say its well worth the bumpy and corrugated ride. We also check in to Mt Dare and Visit Old Andado Station before starting the Madigan Line.

One of the best changes to my Signature Deluxe ll was to install the Supapeg Rapid Wing Delux 6 Awning, with over 17sqm of shade and shelter it just fits perfectly. Let me give you the walk through of the 270° awning and tell you what I like and dislike.")
