Commander crosses the Simpson
Just got back from a 17 day, 6 800 km expedition from Brissie across the Simpson, around Central Oz (down the Finke through Boggy Hole), to Coober Pedy, across to William Creek, to Lyndhurst, up the Strezlecki to Cameron Corner, up the Bore track to Innamincka and then back to Brissie.
Towing a Podtrailer.
Of the 5 vehicles in the expedition (none other towing a trailer), the Commander was the only 4WD that NEVER got stuck on a sand dune.
We were in the middle of a huge sand storm which ranged from Broken Hill to the Alice, including 140 kph winds. Visibility down to 50 m; sand hiding the tracks...and then the thunderstorms and rain followed.
Few piccies follow. These show the sand storm, sand got into everything, then the thunderstorms (some may recognise the 'Lone gum tree').
