    Stan

    Admin changed title to reflect this is the GTG trip, and not the other Simpson trip being planned by Mick L.

    lc120man,
    I have sent you an email to register for the Simpson crossing.
    I can hardly believe it is only a little over 4 months until we will be in Birdsville.
    With all the water going through there now the area should be really at its best when we go through.

      Hi everyone,

      I've updated the first post with current itinerary to avoid any confusion. I am also considering arriving to Alices Springs a
      day earlier to have an extra day rest before PP GTG, which might mean leaving a day earlier/etc...
      Any comments for and against please pm me.

      Regards,

      Stan

              Stan the dates posted for this trip is incorrect.

              June the 24th is not a Thursday but a Wednesday.

              Just discovered it now as im filling out my annual leave form.

              My phone and a freebee calender states your out by one day.

              Could you please check these dates again and correct it thanks,

              Zook.

                Zook,

                Dates are correct, we moved the dates 1 day back but and I missed days of the week, all fixed now.

                AFAIK Grey Nomad and Callo are planning to travel together to Birdsville, best to pm them for details.

                Cheers

                  Hi Sean

                  Yes, meeting you at Boulia would be great.
                  My wife and I will be travelling from Mt Isa with "Callo" (Ian & Barb).
                  We will depart Mt Isa on Tuesday 23rd June and overnight at Boulia.
                  On Wednesday 24th June we will all travel from Boulia to Birdsville and stay at the Birdsville caravan park on the nights of 24th and 25th.
                  Look forward to meeting with you and we should arrange a UHF CB channel to communicate on.

                  Cheers - John (& Cheryl)

                    Bad news guys, im out. Sorry! Funds, annual leave and timing is at fault. Way too much happening around this time with family and friends and with great regret I will only be going to a few outings over PPGTG. The good news though is im able to lead the trip through Boggy Hole to Kings Canyon if needed,
