After years of wondering what it would be like to cross the Simpson Desert we finally make the crossing. It's a great part of Australia and we just love it. To camp under the stars hundreds of kilometres from civilization is a wonderful experience.

Despite advice to the contrary the crossing itself is quite easy, at least along our route which is west to east on the French Line. At no time were my driving skills or the ability of our 24-year-old Landcruiser challenged.

My only regret is that we didn't have enough time, doing the crossing in just three days. This was because we wanted to travel with two vehicles and Bradley had to get back to work. Next time maybe we'll try it in the truck, and spend a couple of weeks.

Till next time then, and remember,

don't dream it, be it!
