There is some concern about Tropical Cyclone Olga, which seems to be dropping a lot of rain in Western Qld. Last year 2009 the Simpson Desert was cut off by flooding from Western Qld down into Lake Eyre. Full crossings were not possible until August 09, and the Warburton Crossing (my planned way to go) was closed all year due to deep mud.

We will have to wait and see what Nat Parks SA say on March 16 when they re-open the desert.

I'll keep you posted as I hear about conditions.
