Hi All - I am back on the web after my house move....
This is a photo from the top of 'Big Red'.
Big Red is the largest sand dune in the Simpson Desert and is also the most easterly dune. This means if you are travelling from Mt Dare in the west to Birdsville in the east(Across the 'Simmo' as it is affectionatley known), Big Red will be your final and toughest test.
Our car was not capable of crossing the Simpson unfortunately (can't carry enough fuel) but we were able to drive to the top of 'Big Red'. It was just a case of letting the tyres down a bit and giving it plenty of gas to keep going.
I have added a fun 2nd photo as proof of our achievement!! :)
This image is now available for purchase at my store Image Australia
