03-Jul-2012 -- I arrived in the general area of the Confluence late the previous evening , driving approximately twenty kilometres east south east from the Great Northern Highway along a slightly overgrown pastoral station track to my camp site adjacent to the only hillock in the vicinity, Parda Hill.
Today I drove a further six or so kilometres to the south south west along a connecting track to a point slightly south south east of the Confluence, which now lay approximately five kilometres distant east; the closest point to the track.
Carrying emergency electronics, including an epirb and two gps’s, plus compasses as well as provisions, I proceeded to the Confluence across generally open Spinifex and acacia scrubland dotted with termite mounds. Walking was mainly easy, but slow owing to the need to keep a tight watch for snakes, After an hour and a half over this country I reached the Confluence at just after ten thirty AM.
