Madigan Line – July 2018

Published by Club 4x4

Join Chris, Geoff and Club 4×4 for a trip following the first European crossing of the Simpson Desert by Cecil Madigan in 1939 who used camels to make this epic journey. Madigan’s Line is now a series of GPS way points linked by just two wheel tracks between each way point. These way points mark his numerous camp sites. Each year just a handful of four wheel drivers tackle the Madigan Line, now you can join them on this epic journey.

This trip is a rated Difficult/Very Difficult and will require months of planning and a well setup vehicle. Please talk to the Trip Leaders if you have any queries before booking on this trip.
