THE SIMPSON DESERT IS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2019 TOURING SEASON.

- Matt Raudonikis
Open Season

AFER a late start, the Simpson Desert is open for the 2019 desert touring season. Flood waters heading down the Diamantina from farther north in Queensland were blocking the road from Birdsville to Big Red, but they have now subsided and moved on down to Lake Eyre. The Munga-Thirri National Park (Queensland side) and Munga-Thirri – Simpson Desert Conservation Park (South Australia) are open for travellers.

The Simpson Desert is a bucket-list trip for many 4x4ers, but it’s not to be taken lightly. A desert is a remote place and the conditions can be harsh on travellers and their vehicles, so there are a few things to consider when planning your trip.
