Tomorrow the journey home begins in earnest. Australia is the driest inhabited continent, about 35% is full-on desert. I’m sitting in Victoria which is parched (although none of it really desert). The proposed route home …
… about half of the route is closed due to flooding.
It takes in the Oodnadatta Track and the Tanami Desert. It would be the shortest but certainly not the quickest way home. Much of the journey would be on unsealed roads. It would probably count as the route less traveled in the guide books and in my view is the route most interesting.
I have prepared two other routes. Decision time will be in the Flinders Ranges four or five days hence.
