Throwing one way out there for August 2016. The OCR (Off Centre Rally) will next be held at Mungerannie SA on the Birdsville Track. The following weekend, the SA SideCar Gathering will be held at Manna Hill SA.
I have attended the last 3 OCR's and they have been absolute highlight trips. I also attended Manna Hill last year and they are hoping to make 2016 the largest ever sidecar gathering in Australia, if not the southern hemisphere.
I would like to gather a dither of Urals ( and others ) to attend both events.
As they are a week apart, I am thinking of continuing North on the Birdsville Track from Mungerannie and looping back to Manna Hill via Birdsville, Cameron Corner, Innaminka and BrokenHill.
Vague intentions so far would be Depart Adelaide mid week.
Arrive Mungerannie Friday. Depart Sunday.
Loop for a week.
Arrive Manna Hill Saturday. Depart Sunday. (There is nothing much at MH other than a Pub and rail station)
Return Adelaide Sunday.
Travelling would be limited to approximately 300~350km per day.
You would need to be self sufficient....free camping and Parks.
Tell us what you think........interested ?

As Norm said......arrive Mungerannie Friday 12th. Probably leave there Sunday, or maybe Monday, spend a week looping through Birdsville etc. to arrive Manna Hill Saturday 20th.
Departure date and everything else will of course be optional. I will start to put a vague itinerary in place soon. Need to sus out some fuel and food stops on the big map.
Heading to Pooncarie this week for the ADV event..........half way to Mumgerannie....from my place....!
Cheers, lee

Homework has started. I am open to suggestions of course and nothing should be set in stone too early. This is my idea so far..... AUGUST 2016 Wednesday 10 ORORROO Thursday 11 > 380 km MARREE Friday 12 > 203 km MUNGERANNIE Saturday 13 MUNGERANNIE OCR Sunday 14 > 314km BIRDSVILLE CADELGA RUINS CORDILLO ROAD > 220 km CORDILLO DOWNS BUSH CAMP > 206 KM INNAMINCKA MOOMBA MERTY MERTY CAMERAN CORNER > 280 KM FORT GREY > 150 KM TIBOOBURRA > 335 KM BROKEN HILL Saturday 20 > 152 km MANNA HILL SA SIDECAR GATHERING Sunday 21 Monday 22 Tuesday 23 The 14th ~ 20th is a little dependant on road and weather conditions and also whether we decide to stay somewhere for a day......Birdsville, Tibooburra or Broken Hill for example. There is a 426 km Fuel run in there, but it is a long way between servos in some areas out there. We will need a bit in reserve as the roads/tracks can be a little soft and heavy on fuel. Feel free to chip in guys.....  lee |

Sounds like a good plan... as far as I can tell. Two rallies is good...

Sounds very interesting, could meet up with you in Marree. Agree, two rallies is better than one, but that's a long haul down the track...possibly a three-beer problem this one.
