Birdsville Racing Carnival
The population of the tiny outback Queensland town of Birdsville is expected to swell from 120 to almost 10,000 when it hosts the annual Birdsville Racing Carnival.
In preparation for the influx of visitors, the remote community on the edge of the Simpson Desert has ordered 150 kilometres of toilet paper, 80,000 cans of beer and is preparing to serve 14,000 pies, pasties and sausage rolls in a 48 hour period.
Now in its 132nd year, the Birdsville Races are a must-do for thousands of visitors from all parts of Australia and the world who take over the tiny outback town every year for the first Friday and Saturday in September.

Go on, get out there, let it get under your skin and write your own Outback story.
Birdsville Big Red Betoota 4K Adventure ride to Simpson Desert AU KTM1190 CRF1000d - part 2
Travel with Quin & Sylvia - The 2Meerkats, to the centre of Australia by motorcycle, Betoota Hotel, Birdsville and Big Red sand dune in the Simpson Desert Qld AU. We are just 2 regular dirt-paw old adventurer riders who love the freedom of riding a KTM 1190R (Quin) and a Honda CRF1000D Africa Twin (Sylvia) motorcycle in the dry desert outback of Australia. We share our experiences of real outback culture and characters and the Channel Country of the Diamantina River. Share our highs, lows and our challenges of the deep dune sand, as we travel and free-camp our way together. We face our demons in the Gibber plain rock field strewn roads and the deep sand of the dunes.

FAQ
What are those cars? - we arranged to travel in very loose company with our adult kids - each night we would meet up in a camp after sending them a map-pin, of the free-camp we have ended up riding too. The blue Nissan agreed to tow our trailer with our 103kg Husky WR250 2-stroke enduro bike for playing in the sand. We own the Husky and trailer and just had to get it to Big Red somehow as it is road legal, but not suited to the 3600km return trip on the road. The white car supports the blue car if it gets a flat tyre or gets bogged and vice-versa. Each vehicle/bike was independent in case that person went their own way.
Did you have a fixed agenda? - No. We have a rough 2 week plan but only decide 24 hours in advance where to free-camp each night. Also if we stayed somewhere and liked it - we could vote to stay another night.

The Exact Centre of Australia - Lambert Center to Coober Pedy - Ep.27 - FREE CAMPING
After finally crossing into our 3rd state for the trip, we had decided to do part of the Oodnadatta track ????. We let our tyres down at Marla to start the track. The road was surprisingly in good condition out to the Oodnadatta township (we were expecting a lot worse). We stopped in at the famous Oodnadatta Pink ???? Roadhouse for a famous ‘Oodna burger’ ???? and some photos.
Once our bellies were full of burgers and some beers ????, we continued on as we had a free camp spot on the map we wanted to stop at, a further 70km on. Enroute we popped in to the Mt Dutton Ruins for a look. That was pretty cool, seeing the old structure and all the old coloured glass on the ground. Mid-afternoon we made it to Algebuckina Waterhole & Old Railway ????Bridge camp spot. We opted to set up camp on the edge of the waterhole, as there was no one there and we had the whole place to ourselves.
We got ourselves all set up, Kurt got the fishing rods ???? out and put up our feet with a beer in hand. No fish were caught, BUT, we threw one yabby net in for giggles and to our amazement we caught a dozen blue claw yabbies ???? and a few shrimp overnight! Unbelievable! Our plans were soon turned on its head, when later that morning Kurt discovered our centre bearing rubber was not in good shape ????. We had to make a decision on what to do, as we were unsure how long it would last. Kurt replaced it before our trip, so it was only 10months old, but since we had upgraded our rear leaf springs in Cairns, we suspect this might have caused the issue.
The decision was made to abandon the Oodnadatta track and head straight to Coober Pedy to get it fixed ????. We made it to Coober Pedy fine, which was a relief. Kurt got the part ordered and all fixed within a few days, which was great. We decided to make the most of our time in Coober Pedy while there and see all the sights. We splashed out and did a tour with Oasis Tourist Park. $45 each for 3 hours, which included an underground mine tour ????????♀️????????and chauffeured around to see all the sights. Since it was out of the busy period, everywhere was quiet – which turned out great! We were the only ones on our tour so we got the VIP treatment.

Ep 112 | We Made it to Byron Bay, 4WD Across Australia
We camp the night in the Eyre River bed and then make our way out of the Simpson Desert to Birdsville, the remote outback town that sits at the edge of the Simpson Desert.
We wind our way towards the coast and take in some old homestead ruins along the way.
We finally arrive at the most eastern point on the Australian continent, Byron Bay, some 6500 kilometres, and three weeks later, after starting our journey from Steep Point in Western Australia.
We hope you enjoy this final episode of our traverse of the great continent.
Next we will make our way back to SV Nutshell, via London and Los Angeles.
Thanks for watching and following along on our world travels whilst we explore this wonderful planet.
