Come with me on a motorcycle adventure in Australia’s Simpson Desert.
This is one of the Outback’s most stunning and unique places, but it doesn’t come easy.
The isolation, ruggedness, and harshness of the terrain will push me and the KLR650 to our absolute limits.
Heavy rains have flooded and damaged some tracks and the Ayre Creek remains high, making the crossing difficult and uncertain.
I set off just days after the Birdsville police reopen the Eastern exit of the desert, with no other motorcycles around, and only the odd 4wd every few hours amongst the vast emptiness.
