In: IIRC, three landrovers, one toyota (one of the first model
landcruisers--yes, it was _that_ long ago). The 1939 expedition
used camels. Crocker the botanist and his camel didn't get on,
so he walked. On: 1,335 sandridges or thereabouts. By the time
we did it, there'd been a few years previously an attempt by a
French petroleum company to explore, so there was one track which
ahd almost vanished by the time we moved. We were mightily
p*ssed off to arrive after 1100 dunes at the corner of NT,
Queensland & Sout Oz to discover a drunken tourist party in
residence, who'd driven up from the south along an interdune
corridor, in 2-wheel drive all the way, following a rig road that
had just been driven through with no-one's knowledge (in theory,
a Ntaional Park....) Bit like arriving at a remote secluded
anchorage in a hard to get at little bay a long way from anywhere
and discovering a drunken bunch of powerboaters there...

true. And at the time that song came out, I was on a scientific
expedition crossing the Simpson Desert, in the days when that was
a major, major undertaking. (Not any more, plenty of access
provided one has enough fuel and water and the access makes it
possible to carry enough without fuss).

In the dessert, you can remember your name, for there ain't no one for

give you no pain......

And so, indeed, is what you've pictured.
