Description
The first main junction where the track ventures east from Dalhousie Springs into the
Simpson Desert
is called Freeth Junction. This junction intersects with ‘Rocks Road’ which is an ‘Emergency Use Only’ track that heads south through Macumba Station to Oodnadatta. This is a very rough and rugged track and permission to travel on it must be sought from both National Parks and Kidman Pastoral Company.

Trek Notes
Simpson Desert
The Simpson Desert can be crossed via the French Line, WAA line or Rig Road. This trek provides a route using a combination of all 3 routes.
Simpson Desert French Line
The French Line is the most direct route across the desert and traverses directly across the tops of over 1200 red sand dunes, with Big Red being the major challenge.
Simpson Desert Rig Road
The Rig Road is the most southern access across the Simpson Desert. It is a longer route because it winds along the edge of dunes and crosses at the lowest points. Old clay-topped track is now eroding, but was once used for moving heavy equipment.
Simpson Desert WAA Line
This track is similar to the French Line and although it has smaller dunes, it is very picturesque especially after rain. While in this area take a look at the Knolls, which is a scenic but fragile part of the Simpson so please stay on the track.
