Dry interior
north and east of the Mulga/Eucalypt Line, extending to remote areas of the
inland deserts and the Kimberley.
Other Information:
Expeditions are carried out once or twice a year and
are usually of a month’s duration. Access to the study sites requires a 4WD
vehicle, fully equipped with long-range fuel tanks, adequate water storage
capacity, survival and rescue gear. Usually no less than three vehicles
take part. HF radio linked to the RFDS network is essential and at least one
vehicle must be equipped with one. Ancillary
research into desert vertebrates and arachnids are part of each expedition.
