I'm also looking forward to the ride. Pichi Richi pass, port augusta to quorn, is my regular coffee run, but sometimes i do the quorn to wilmington to port augusta triangle, or else the longer one through melrose and the port germein gorge. All the of those gorges are lovely esp at this time of year. Should be a good one, and a change of scene for me. I did see a couple of expired roos in the pichi richi pass a few days ago so if you travel at sundown or in the dark do take care.
