Adelaide up to Alice Springs

Hi everyone,

I am at time in Adelaide, Plan to go up in the direction to Alice Springs.
from Cooper pedy y wanth to go over the old Ghan Road up to Alice Springs.

Is some other traveller on the way that wanth drive with me ??? After Alice i go to the Uluru and the Olgas and then the Cental Road down to Perth. After Perth, maybe the Ocean Road up to Broome and the end is will be Darwin.

It will be nice to found some one that on the same way.

Once you are a reasonable distant from Port Augusta anywhere on the side of the road is a good free campsite. As an alternate route I can suggest that you go up to Lyndhurst and then the Oodnadatta track it is a lot more interesting.

You can got out to Cooper Pedy from Oodnadatta.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
