Simpson Trip Day 6

Big Red

Its just under 40 kilometers from Birdsville to Big Red, Australia’s most famous sand dune. It’s also the place where the Simpson Desert really starts.

We crossed our first dune and headed towards the western side of Big Red. This is the side where most people attempt to climb it in their vehicles.
