Hey Guys... now we have finally recieved the new Prado, the plan is to gear it up ready to do a trip to the Center to watch some friends of our's from WA compete in the Finke Desert Race (Alice Springs to Finke to Alice Springs) in June 2012.

We are working on a Project in Orange NSW at the moment (and hopefully will still be in June 2012), so the plan loosely speaking is as follows:
Trip Out:
Day 1 - Orange to Bourke
Day 2 - Bourke to Charleville
Day 3 - Charleville to Birdsville
Day 4 - Birdsville to Poeppels Corner (Simpson Desert, Cnr NT-QLD-SA
Day 5 - Poeppels Cnr to Purni Bore (Simpson Desert)
Day 6 - Purni Bore to Dalhousie Springs (Simpson Desert)
Day 7 - Dalhousie Springs to Finke/Alice
The Finke - Probably be in Alice / Finke for about 5 days.
Trip Back:
Day 1 - Finke to Oodnadatta
Day 2 - Oodnadatta to Lake Eyre
Day 3 - Lake Eyre to Cameron’s Corner (Cnr SA-NSW-VIC)
Day 4 - Cameron’s CNR to Broken Hill or Mildura (depends)
Day 5 - Mildura to Orange
The plan is still very rubbery (flexable) and we are yet to flesh out the details, so is very subject to change at this stage. We are looking at taking around 3 weeks for this trip, so there is more fat (time wise) up our sleave than the schedule would indicate, but we figure there will be unexpected delays and the odd detour along the way.
Not super Keen to cross the Simpson Desert on our by ourselves (Safety) so if anyone is interested in coming with just let me know.
