BIG RED AND LEAVING BIRDSVILLE
We awoke to a beautiful dawn over the lagoon, really uncertain about how far we were going to travel in this day. Our original plan was to camp at Coopers Creek but we were now "homing" and left our options open. A MUST was to drive out towards the Simpson Desert to experience "Big Red". It was impressive and worth the return trip of about 60 kms. While there we watched a group that had crossed the desert winching out a vehicle that had bogged and damaged its transmission.

THE BIRDSVILLE TRACK
The Birdsville Track was long but well maintained and interesting, unlike the Strzelecki.
ON TO FARINA
Tired and just wanting something familiar, we decided for one last camp at Farina (a favourite of ours). It was windy and becoming quite cold, but lived up to our expectations.
