Wikipedia
However travel through very remote areas, on isolated tracks, requires planning and a suitable, reliable vehicle ( usually a four-wheel drive ).
On very remote routes considerable supplies and equipment may be required, this can include prearranged caches.
It is not advisable to travel into these especially remote areas with a single vehicle, unless fully equipped with good communication technology ( e. g. a satellite phone, EPIRB etc .).
Deaths from tourists and locals becoming stranded on outback trips occasionally occur, sometime because insufficient water and food supplies were taken, or because people have walked away from their vehicle in search of help.
Travellers through very remote areas should always inform a reliable person of their route and expected destination arrival time, and remember that a vehicle is much easier to locate in an aerial search, than a person, so in the event of a breakdown, they must not leave their vehicle.
