Desert X

This entry is part 16 of 22 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #12

Phil Hodgens and his hard-bitten crew prepare for one of this continent’s most challenging rides. These are tough men, and they need tough bikes.

The Simpson Desert sprawls across the Northern Territory and South Australia, a vast area of sand dunes and spinifex that remained unexplored until 1939.

Cecil Madigan pioneered the first-ever crossing from Andado in the west by camel, taking over a month to traverse the 1100 dunes to Birdsville. The way-points of his 26 camps form a line across the dead heart that to this day is known as The Madigan Line.
