Finke 2008
Finke 2008
So eveyone is talking about it, why not start a thread.
I'm keen to drive again, but flying is an option too.
At this stage I'd like to float the idea of a 3 week trip encompassing finke, other terrorist er tourist activitys in the area....boggy hole, the ranges, rocks etc with a quick trip (couple of nights) up to the rib factory otherwise know as wollogorang.
Other ideas or suggestions ?

We are in. I asked for the time off on my first day back. The boss said to wait until the 2008 calender is up on the wall. I have checked out flights. $288 via Cairns, $250 straight through (only on Saturdays). We are looking at the prices of hiring a campervan, not sure if the orange girl will be coming or not.

I am eyeing off touring tents at the moment for the trip, the lib is slowly becoming more of a tourer all the time with june 08 being my deadline

So are we looking at leaving on the Saturday 31st May ish. Stamp licker, it looks like I might be travelling out in the car, as I can probably get the 3 weeks off now. Depending on the dates we decide, what have you all booked for. Or I will fly out on the Wednesday if you are going to go for the 4 weeks.
A week would be HEAPS to make it to Alice and I suppose you lot would want to look at the rock and stuff ?? Its not really that exciting imho.
Boggy hole could be worth a look - http://www.exploroz.com/TrekNotes/RedCtr/Boggy_Hole.asp
As could be the likes of kings canyon

My plans are up in the air with a possability of a new job, yay and boo at the same time. So I will have to wait and see. Should know fairly soon.
