Cunnamulla to Birdsville via Peoppels Corner, QAA line 7 days 1570km

This is a entry level ride into the Simpson Desert for the not so experienced sand rider.
After this ride you will have a lot more confidence on sand.

Day1 188km
Fly into Cunnamulla arriving at 11:10am and we get straight into it, jumping on your awaiting motorcycles and head straight for the township of Eulo (pub lunch), Hungerford (pub dinner).

Day2 336km
Hungerford, Wanaaring (lunch), Tibooburra (pub dinner).

Day3 379km

This is an awesome run through here as you really start to get the feeling of remote outback riding.

Day4 305km
Innamincka, Walkers Xing, Stony Desert, Clifton Hill Station.
Innamincka to Walkers Xing is very tricky as the tracks in here are all over the place and continually changing due to the gas extraction taking place. The mining company is always messing the tracks and rerouting them, so we will have to pick our way through this section carefully but it is rewarding.

Clifton Hill Station, Warburton/K1 Track, Peoppels Corner.
This is the entrance into the magnificent Simpson Desert.

Day6 167km
Peoppels Corner, QAA Line, Big Red, Birdsville (pub dinner).
Novice riders will cut their teeth on the QAA Line, the direction of west to east is the easiest way to travel because of the shape of the sand dune, steepest side is on the eastern side of the sand dune because of the winds direction shaping the dune.

Day7 18th June 2019
Fly out to Brisbane and you will arrive at Brisbane domestic terminal around about 5pm.
