Simpson Desert - Flags Mandatory from march this year

[Bird]

Due to the heat, I got up early this morning.

They had a rerun of a 70's Leyland Brothers episode of them crossing the Simpson from west to east.

What did they have? A series 2 Landrover and 3 of those trike motor cycles with the ballon tyres.

They even had to replace the clutch on the support vehicle, no flags, no Satphones, just the old school HF radio, no ARB catalogue fitted.

Just old school basics and common sense.

and about 5 cars a year crossing the desert back then, not 5 unprepared 1/2 wits per hour.

But common sense was thriving back then.. its extinct these days.

True that.

The problem with common sense, these days, it not to common.

Can't you get a common sense app for your phone these days? No need to have it instilled in the person. Gee boys, get with the times...........................
