Nice read and pics...interesting your comment regarding Big Red looking little, i watched a YouTube video earlier tonight that showed the dune with a big cutting at the summit of it, thought to myself, wow look at the damage / change done from so many visitors going there now...looked very different to my previous visits there

Yes... definitely not as big as when I 1st visited back in 1990.... The eastern side is very easy but western side is where the harder climbs are located

Hopefully will be heading back out that way again this year... that's if the flooding doesn't happen again

Great report and I enjoyed the photos.
One thing people would like to know is how much fuel each car used.
I hope your mate Kev is ok.

Sorry for the late reply.... I've attached a copy of my fuel usage...

The distance between Birdsville to Alice Springs I used about 169ltrs and I know the mates 80'series about 50ltrs more than I did. The 2 other Landies would have been slightly better than me as I was a lot heavier than them...
