5 side cars left Gladstone on the Monday for our first camp 14 K's west of Mt Ive.
Beet K1100, Fred & McArdell K1100, Slab Suzuki 1100, Doubleday & Brian K100 & me with Smeghead K1100.
Saying goodbye to Doubleday & Slab who were to attempt Goog's Track.
Then onto Fowlers Bay via Penong for a bit of fishing.
After 3 days of catching nothing, (Beet says we should have been here LAST year)
McArdell drops Fred off at Ceduna Hospital, we then head for Nullabore Roadhouse, where I head off up to Watson & the rest to the Border.
Could not find Watson, the road I was on went north then east to the sand mining road. I then went north along that till the road to the left took off to "Oak Vally" which led me to the railway at Ooldea.
I then went east to Kingoonya, getting bogged in sand for 8 hours (over night) near Barton Siding.
Stayed 2 nights at Kingoonya while waiting for Beetle & his mate to catch up to me.
Left Kingoonya & headed for Pimba were a dissension was made to head for the OCR via White Cliffs. Camped over night, Wednesday at Gladstone.
Beet and friend headed off Thursday for the OCR & I left Friday am & camped Friday night about 50 K's north of White Cliffs & into the OCR Saturday morning.
Left the OCR Sunday morning in the company of Sarge, Potter & Justin, all from Adalaide for the trip back home via Broken Hill caravan park, arriving home Monday 1pm.
A good time was had by all.
