Eyre Creek is fun when it is full of water - the main track is way over a vehicle. There are two diversion tracks with the southern one being the shortest that I have used several times. There is a dramatic change between after rain (Full of flowers & budgerigars - all green & yellow of course plus lots of mud) to bone dry. Love it - driven it 12 times including a double crossing.
Geez ma lad, I had to put my leprechaun ears on in that intro with that accent! 😂 Great trip and well worth doing although by the sounds of things some travellers now leaving their rubbish and crap behind as well as not burying their fecal matter…
I didn’t see any rubbish etc anywhere during the trip and everyone we met were bagging their own rubbish Maybe at peak times there might be some individuals doing that
Thanks for asking , sorry for not getting back to you sooner but had to double check a few details , The ranger has an integrated bar bumper and winch Has a 2 inch suspension lift and wholesale auto transmission cooler system Standard fuel tank We carried four full Jerry cans as extra fuel for the crossing and used two for top up on the second morning We reckon about 110 litres of diesel got us across from Birdsville to Mt Dare Travelling as a single vehicle the best advice we got was from the Information centre in Birdsville, If the salt flats seem too wet your better off to go around the edge Better lose a few hours and kilometres to driving than days and dollars getting unstuck and repairs

@@cromoutside yes off the track and in the areas people camp in.. that is great that you did not see anything as it disappoints anywhere you see trash
Any chance of a quick run down on the setup of your Ranger? Plus the BIG item lots of people look for, kms & fuel quantity used for the drive?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story🤠
?
Also how long is the drive from big red to poeppel corner
It took us five and a half hours to get to poeppel from big red
We were not in a hurry
What type pressure did you use on big red as I intend to go there in October
I’m pretty sure we were down at 18 psi for most of the crossing
Hi mate,maybe a great video,you have a pleasant voice. However with that dreadfull inappropriate music I could not suffer watching it. Soz Grant
Thanks Grant
Is the music in general or at any certain part
Awesome but So Boring landscape
Not a place to break down in , but it’s a lot different from rainy days green fields and craggy mountains
