Sounds like a good trip again. I tried driving up that hill near Lake Harry, spun a wheel and slashed the sidewall of a tyre on the razor sharp rocks. I'll be out there again in a few weeks....

It’s funny – I was contemplating to climb it up myself. What stopped me was the presence of these two guys, didn’t feel like showing off or making a fool of myself. When I walked up I saw how treacherous the hill is. There is another one next to it, where obviously lots of people have climbed up as well.

Mike, are you still planning Simpson crossing?

Absolutely, I'm just waiting for a break in my work load. Good choice not driving that hill.
The best Birdsville Track trip I did was a few years ago when the Eyre Creek was flooded and the ferry was operating. Would you believe I drove out there for the weekend? Non stop to Marree, one day on the track and non stop home. The ferry was supposedly a one in 20-30 year event and I didn't want to miss it. It ended up operating for over 6 months...what a loser. Glad I did it though.

Your post is great, put some more photos on  2013 hse auto, black, almond leather, exnon lights, factory privacy glass, exhaust finisher, rear boot spoiler, mud flaps. Body door side moulding and steps.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.

Hey Vesko, long time no hear. You weren't illegal being in the desert out of Birdsville. You don't need a permit while you are in Queensland unless you want to camp on the side of the track. Then its about $6 per person per night which is the cost for camping in any Queensland national park. The Desert Parks Pass is only for South Australian sections of the track.
Where to over the Christmas break? I'm doing Fraser Island again, haven't been there for 15 years. Cheers.

I live in the wrong country

Mate, the thing you might not know is that for us to drive to those places is the equivalent of you driving to North Africa distance wise.
Still, there are plenty of 4wd wonderland and free camping opportunities within 2 hours of the centre of Sydney. There has to be some benefits in living at the other end of the world...
