We had 13 people on the trip spread across 7 vehicles.
Day 1 - The group assembled at Mitchell Caravan Park.
Day 2 - Travel to Windorah.
Sunset from the dunes near Windorah
Day 3 - Travel to Birdsville.
Day 4 - The group made it to Big Red. Next - the Simspon Desert crossing.
Ok - I had to add a photo of me trying to climb Big Red using the direct track. It was VERY soft towards the top of the sand dune.
Day 5 - In the Desert
Late in the afternoon, we reached Poeppel's corner. So, what state was he in? Awake, drossy or asleep? Ohhhh - Left foot in Qld, right foot SA, body in NT. Just ask him for the exact time.
Day 6
We continued to travel through the desert. The sand dunes had a deeper red colour the further west we travelled.
Day 8 - Five and half thousand photos later, the group has travelled through the Simpson without incident. We're at Alice Springs today. Off to the MacDonnell ranges, and eventually to Ayers Rock. Will give another update then.
Just adding a photo of the warm waters at Dalhousie Springs. Below is a photo of the springs in the morning.
Day 10 - We continued on from the MacDonnell Ranges, and camped at Kings Canyon. Walk around the Canyon started with around 500 steps, but again, a different and very scenic landscape.
Day 12 - Today we arrived at Ayers Rock after driving through the MacDonnell Ranges and visited some incredible Gorges. We will need to return to this area to spend more time in this region.
Below is a photo we snapped this afternoon.
Day 14 - We camped overnight at a free campgroup near a creek (which was dry of course). The flies were really bad, but the sunsets and sunrises were fantastic.
Day 15 - Just before we reached Cobber Pedy, we stopped at the scenic lookout ..... The Breakaways. (Didn't know the club owns so much land in SA).
We arrived in Cobber Pedy. It's one of the hottest and driest towns in Australia, but when we arrived it was windy, cold, and we even saw a little rain fall.
Luckily we were able to camp underground. Yes - a guy dug out chambers in the hillside so that people can camp underground. Temperatures stay between 20 and 25 degrees all year round in there (much warmer than outside).
But by the time we left 2 days later, it was sunny again.
Due to rain east of Cobber Pedy resulting in track closers around Lake Eyer, we headed south to Port Augusta and spent a couple of days in the Flinders Ranges. Again some fantastic views, but the drive out through a gorge was the highlight of our time in the Flinders. It was a very windy and cold night camping in the Flinders.
, Sleeping in a dugout, great food at Coober Pedy, Birdsville pub could learn a lot from them, they done the worst service and meals out of the whole trip 
and that's taking in to account my cooking. A wonderful swim at a Gorge with Kerri in our clothes after a warm walk there, 
It was awesome and would love to explore the others behind it, Jumping on the air cushions at the caravan park at Alice, CHILD...am NOT in Davids words. Hated the corrugations, Desert scenery was good, NO CAMELS though.
(just kidding - We Just headed our separate ways to home) I decided to take some back roads on the way home. Found an excellent Tamworth bypass through the mountains had to use 4x4 as it got a bit wet and slippery and at one stage thought I was just going to end up in someones front yard. I had no problems getting through in the end and all in all it was a beautiful drive.
