I enjoyed Carol's report on her trip but I'd like to raise issue of
travelling alone in a non-4WD drive vehicle in this relatively remote
part of Australia. The incident of the English birder dying from
dehydration on the Birdsville track immediately springs to mind and the
cost and effort of rescuing lone French sailors and Alkasan fireman also
should be mentioned.
While Carol returned safe and sound and had a most enjoyable time, one
decent thunderstorm in this remote outback region could have been an
entirely different story.
What does anybody else think?
