Trek Update:  we have finished our 2014 Trek.

Our trek for 2014 is finished.  In August we travelled over 4800 kilometres seing the many sites of outback and big city Australia.  We packed a massive amount of stuff into our 12 days of trekking.  Some of the highlights included:
  • visiting the RFDS Central Operations Centre in Port Augusta;
  • visiting two atomic bomb test sites;
  • testing out a long, wide and dry claypan;
  • travelling several hundred kilometres of the Anne Beadell Highway (at the hard end);
  • reaching the top of Vokes Hill;
  • visiting a closed indigenous community;
  • dealing with an injured rider and putting him on an RFDS plane;
  • visiting Cook, a town owned by a railway company;
  • crossing the Nullarbor from north to south;
  • caving and fossicking for fossils on the Nullarbor;
  • whale watching at Fowler's Bay;
  • visiting our crook mate in hospital in the CBD of a capital city.
The movie is now in production but if you want a taste of what we did you can find it here.

The Trek for 2014 - is underway!
The Trek for 2014 is in full go mode.  As discussed below Plan A fell through so Plan B has swung in.  The TTT route this year again goes into South Australia's Victoria Desert region.  The following is the day to day plan:

12th August: Wangaratta- Renmark 680km;
13th August: Renmark - Lake Hart 570km;
14th Lake Hart - Anne Beadell Somewhere 400km;
15th Coober Pedy- Emu 300km;
16th Emu- Voakes Hill Corner 170km;
17th Vokes Hill Corner- Native Dam well 120km;
18th Native Dam Well- Cook 160km;
19th Cook-Great Aussie Bight 250km;
20th Great Aussie Bight- Ceduna coast 200km;
21st Ceduna coast- Lake Gilles 400km;
22nd Lake Gilles- Mildura 600km;
23rd Mildura- Wangaratta 600km.

Highlights will be going back along the Anne Beadell to Emu, but then continuing on to Voakes Hill Corner and then down to the Great Australian Bight.

Plan A.
What's next for the TTT Team?  Well. planning is well underway for our trek in 2014.  We had a location picked out that was well, well off the beaten track
as they say.  Negotiations for access weren't fruitful for this year, so Plan A will go on the back-burner and become a plan for another day.  Time to pull out Plan B!



Plan B.

Plan B swings into action, and it sees us swing back into South Australia, that state we love!  At the risk of offending, we are starting to really believe that South Australian's are not proof that Tasmanians can swim!
Anyway, back to the trak.  Plan B sees us going out the Anne Beadell Highway again, but instead of turning down to Maralinga, we will continue on to Voakes Hill corner, then come down to Cook on the Trans Australian Railway.  From Cook we then go down to the Great Australian Bight.  We will return along the coastline through Ceduna.
