TACKLING the Simpson Desert in a Porsche might seem a daunting challenge, but a group mates from Flinders believe the cause makes it all worthwhile.
They are hoping to raise $100,000 for research – and, more importantly, greater awareness – of the fight against motor neuron disease.   
Tom Barr Smith, his son Tom, and five old friends, took off at the crack of a cold Flinders dawn, Saturday 10 July, in the 2003 C4S Porsche knowing it was a mad cap idea but oh so exciting for the 80-year-old Tom Barr Smith and his team of seven. ....

Stories from South: Outback Aviator


SA Tourism travel blog
Meet Doug Sprigg, an outback pilot who spends his days flying over the wild frontiers of his backyard, the vast South Australian outback. His flight path covers 800,000 square kilometres, an area bigger than Belgium, Netherlands and France combined. The 66-year-old runs and lives at Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary in the farthest reaches of the Flinders Ranges and says it’s craggy peeks, towering ridgelines and sweeping gorges are best explored from the air.
A diesel mechanic and pilot by trade, and historian, geologist, and biologist in knowledge alone, for 30 years, he’s taken to the sky to share his love for Arkaroola.

It’s a place for those who want a little more. ....

The Classic Safari Company runs five-day “Aussie Outback Pub Crawls” that take you 4000km across the outback encompassing three states and visiting eight pubs.
The outback comprises 70 per cent of Australia – that s 5.6 million square kilometres; half the size of Western and Eastern Europe combined. This back of beyond defines Australia, and Australians, and yet for most of us, it s as foreign as any country.
Who among us has ever really seen it, let alone know where it quite begins and where it quite ends?
Getting there from a capital can takes days of driving; and once you re there it takes days to get anywhere else. That s why it s largely the domain of adventurous, time-rich grey nomads in four-wheel drives with enough grunt to pull their caravan through the heart of Australia. ....
