I hadn't known about the crossing attempts you've mentioned here, nor about the Redex trials. I've often wanted to cross it by train, just to experience the vastness. <br />My brother has driven across and back several times and says going by plane is the better option.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-65095055187768433752016-06-23T06:25:10.425+08:002016-06-23T06:25:10.425+08:00It reminds me of the deserts here.
