    I would have liked to see another measure put into place - that being a Std Location for the Sand Flag on Bullbars.
    I mean should it be the Right side or Left side?

    The way I read it, there was no mention of this, only talking about the height of the sand flag.

    Why would it matter which side of the bullbar it is?
    Can't we just keep travelling?

      His awning bracket would make it well above 2.0metres??

      I like the versatility of the knock down awning bracket as I have an awning.

      Have not crossed the desert yet but would like to one day!!! Thanks

      Edit..looks like it's too short after reviewing the dimensions..shame I'd thought about buying one? Gunna have to buy a special flag now for each sand outing/trip??
      If your awning is mounted above the roof rack, it might work.

        Just a bit of background on the Ngarkat charges, there used to be a self registration system for camping only that required people to put money in an envelope and into a steel post. Some lowlife idiot was breaking into the posts or even completely ripping them out of the ground in order to steal the few dollars inside.

        Now I'm not sure that justifies the visitor fees, but it's just another example of selfish idiots ruining things for everyone.

          Just wondering why a Red/Orange flag is recommended. It doesn't stand out well in a red sandy desert. The Red/White Blue Aussie flag contrasts with the red sand very well.

          Seriously, a red and blue flag would contrast with both sand and sky. But as usual big brother dictates what we should do and any better ideas we may have are squashed. Specify the minimum size and height but why the colour?

            When you go up dunes the sand flag usually has the sky as the background, hence the orange colour being the most common colour, and now the mandated one.

              It should be standard.
              I reckon on the right is the way to go. That way you know to stay to the left of the sand flag that is coming at you.

                  why do you assume a bullbar is needed for a Simpson crossing?

                  We had our mounted on a roof bar last time across which gave the overall required height

                        From the requirements:
                        Made of Fluorescent materials, Red-Orange or Lime-Yellow in colour.
