Camp Purni Bore to Camp Knolls Track Junction camp

After stew cooked by Tim and Jarrod, which was delicious, we mixed it with other campers who were from Horsham Vic and Narracourte SA. One of the blokes was experiencing problems with his CPap and Kev offered assistance and next thing all was good. A few hours later with the birds settled in the bush and all CPap's working quietly the camp settled down to a quiet night. Next thing all hell broke loose, the Simpson Desert Donkeys were on a rampage. The whole camp woke up to their screaming as they ran through the camp and near by bushes. 
In the morning the only one who had a good nights sleep was Kev! He went to bed without his hearing aid!
In the morning we had egg and bacon jaffles and cut ham, mustard and cheese sandwiches for lunch. We left Simpson Desert Camp 1 at 9.44 am not really sure where we would get to that day but after after entering the Simpson Desert proper at 10.05 we had some idea of the limitations making on average 12 k/hr over red sand dunes which occurred about every kilometer with a roughly N/S orientation followed by a wide clay pan.
We arrived at Poepples Corner where Augustus Poepple surveyed the intersection of SA, NT and Qld. state and territory border boundary's. His marker was lost for some time and all 3 states (one Territory) tried to establish the real location of the states and territory boundaries.
We enjoyed the break before we pushed on to the East. By now the Trangia was accepted by the whole team as an ideal way to have a hot cup of tea or coffee on the road! If you tow a van with gas this is not required but with the "travel light" model Trangia's come into their own.
It became obvious that the clay pans would always make good camp sites which harboured off road site with a rich source of Mulga fire wood. This wood is used by the Australian Aborigine for tool making and fires which detract flies, mosquitoes and midges. After the fire was under way the team accepted that the pungent smoke was also a great insect repellant.
Some how I was designated to be Pyro Pete, responsible for digging the fire pit and getting the camp fire under way. 
We had a great team working well by the time we set up Simpson Camp 2. This happened East of Colson's Track on the 27th of August at 3.5pm.

The following movies could cause motion problems. They were filmed on the 2nd and 3rd day into Simpson Desert. Like many photos and movies they do not show the reality of the filmed terrain. It was rough!
