Hi to everyone.
This is just a thought ( albeit a 15 year old one!). I have had the idea of going to visit the Totem 1 and 2 atomic test sites at Emu Field in outback SA. Up until now I have never really had the right vehicle to try it.
This is a 600 km round trip from Coober Pedy, on the first section of the Ann Beadell Highway. And as such requires complete self sufficiency for about 5 - 6 days. Hard to do on a solo bike, and I only have a 2 wd ute, which has the clearance do it, but could get stuck in the softer sand bits. However, the Ural is ideal.
There is a need for permits from the Dep't of defence and a Desert Parks Pass, plus permission from Mabel Ck station. I am looking at August/September 2015. Maybe as an add on to FUSA (if we do it again).
If anyone has thoughts or ideas, please let me know.
