22 days, 440km, 1100 sand dunes all while raising funds and bringing awareness to Jenny’s Place who assist women and children escaping domestic violence and at risk of homelessness.


This Trek for Jenny’s Place is going to be a cracker of a trip. It will have it’s moments when you think “what am I doing here” and then there will be the golden ones when you are sitting on top of a dune, full moon at sunset and not a soul in sight! It will be a trip of surprises and adventures.

Our Itinerary

We will spend 20 nights and walk 440km across the Desert to the iconic Big Red at the back of Birdsville, arriving in Birdsville on the 5th September

The trek starts by walking 15km on the first day followed by a 20km day and then it’s 20 to 25kms every day until Poeppel Corner. From there it’s the final  charge to Big Red.

The route we walk is the infamous French Line.

Tucked away in the remote Simpson Desert, in central Australia, the French Line is one of the country’s great touring tracks. It’s the most direct track across the desert.

The road is 262 km (162 miles) long, running east-west from Poeppel Corner to Dalhousie Springs. It’s totally unpaved. It’s a very demanding track as it normally has very soft sand.
