Good thing you didn't attemt the crossing you'd have to paddle up 1200 of those dam sand dunes but love your tenacity and determination. well done young lady. cheers
@@fantasticanna2512 I'll be doing the longest shortcut next year Bris to Perth then the shortcut from Perth to Cooktown via the middle..... my last big adventure before life catches up with me. Just have to work out the ideal time. thanks for the Windy App , I'll use that. Good luck for next year but I'm sure you'll succeed. cheers
I have enough fuel to do about 800km. I have a USB Charger but my drone can't charge with that. I have 3 batteries and just charge when I stay in accommodation.
@@paulzeleny4879 I'm using the DJI magic air. It's a few years old now. I have 2 usb ports I put on the bike. The drone only charges on 240v but I have 3 batteries.
Do you have any spare bits and pieces for the bike? Actually a good idea posting videos for a safety aspect. Maybe you should put co-ordinates as well, Just in case.
Just tyre tubes and cable ties. Care 300ml of oil which I used up on this trip and had to buy more. So over this trip she burnt 600ml of oil but I am reliably informed that is normal for the bike and conditions which is fully pinned for 4000km
1. It's more fun riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. 2. 10k total setup and you can go more places than +100k 4wd on 2.5l/100km. 3. Uninterrupted view if you have the right helmet. 4. It's a challenge.
Well fantastic Anna, this was a fantastic watch🏆💪☮️ Even though I'm a bikepacker (emtb) I'm going through this exact area over the coming months. Thankyou for taking the time to shoot this. Watched in gratitude 🦘 P.T🦘
Thank you. I watched bikepackers in preparation. Also hikers for ultralight equipment. When people said I was mad I said yes but I'm in the lobby of the mad house, near the entry with my name in pen above my bed. There are people who do it on bicycles, they have their own room with bathroom upstairs with a name plate on the door at the madhouse. Good luck and respect.
Fabulous footage of that rich blue sky and clouds heading back into Betoota.
Yes you get the sense that you are travelling across the surface of a planet out there. Which puts things into perspective in your mind.
Nice work Anna, great solo effort!
Yeah, fantastic enough Anna! Thanks for the drone shots, and thanks for the lack of music!
Good drone footage Fantastic Anna. 👏

I really wanted to get up Big Red, got up Little Big Red. Planning to come up from the Flinders Ranges next year for a rematch with Big Red.

Well, the eastern side of the Simpson seems to begin very suddenly. I'm looking forward to getting there one day.
Yes.looks very different. The defining feature of a pure desert seems to be there is no more cows.
I hope you carry enough fuel, how much do you carry? Got a few nice drone shots. Do you have a 12v charger for the drone so you can charge on the go.
