Okay, how are your preparations going? Just checking in to make sure you are all packed and ready to go... Make sure you have your Desert Parks Pass, or know where to pick one up on your way there. If you ordered it, you get detailed HEMA maps with it. There is also the Dept of Roads Northern South Australia number [or website] to ring before you leave home and definitely before you leave Port Augusta or the Flinders Ranges north.

I did the Kosziusko (sp?) - Lake Eyre double in 1999. It is probably the world's most mediocre example of highest and lowest points on a continent. But, it was worth doing... few people in Oz could lay claim to doing such a thing, not because the mountain summit is difficult to get to, but few people venture out on the Oodnadatta Track.
