BT near Dalhousie Springs (NT/SA border)

Not sure if it was us you saw but we stayed at Dalhousie with our BT on August 6 and 7. There were a number of other BT's in the general area - and camped with one at Hookey's Waterhole near Oodnadatta on 8 August.

Hi Chris

We were on the Oodnadatta Track about a week ago but did not go into Dalhousie on this trip. So, I don't think it could have been us.

However, we did pass 2 BT's heading south near William Creek and another one somewhere else along the track (forget where). Being newbies we did not feel comfortable initiating contact via the CB as we were not sure of the accepted 'protocols'.
So perhaps this is an opportunity for us to ask what other BT owners do when they pass another BT - apart from the normal 'travellers wave'

And clearly it wasn't you guys either! The protocol (in my view, which could be wrong) is to always acknowledge another van of your own brand and we usually use channel 18 or 40 to call on. Sometimes there are local channels you are advised to use, and I think in and around the north of the Oodnadatta Track it is channel 6.

We always look out for other offroad vans like BT, Trakmaster, Phoenix or Kedron and will try to say hello on the UHF radio.
