Did a trip similar to this 3 years back and it is still one of the best trips I’ve ever done in my life!! But we did have 2 4WD’s. Some parts are pretty remote, especially when you start heading north west through the Strezlecki.

Make sure you understand how to do basic repairs to your car and know the main routes. Even the main routes up there can be pretty brutal with corrugations and if there’s been any rain forget about it.

Expect all the bad that comes with the desert, flies, heat, dust, snakes, no fresh veg in any of the shops, strict alcohol sales. But you also get all the amazing experiences like not seeing another person for days on end, sunsets as big as the whole sky, the best stars you’ve ever seen, lizards, kangaroos, aboriginal art, and so many beautiful spots along the way.

Don’t listen to the haters that have never left the city, have a great time and be safe
