WE’VE just returned from a six-month, 20,000km trip that took us across the Simpson and around Central Australia, before returning home for a quick stop and to pick up our camper. Then we headed to the west coast of SA and through the deserts up along the Beadell Roads to Wiluna, before cutting across the Pilbara to the coast at Ningaloo Station. From there, we wandered back through the goldfields region of WA before heading to Victoria and fleeing, with the threat of a COVID closure upon us, to Queensland and Cape York. It was a hell of a trip and the ol’ Patrol revelled in its long hauls and dusty delights.
