You can read the technical details here
On Saturday, August 20, 2005, eight intrepid men and their vintage Ferguson
tractors will start out to cross Austalia's Simpson Desert. The owner/drivers are farmers, contractors and tradesmen from Swan Hill,
Shepparton, Walpeup and Young.
With their support teams, the group intends to take eight days to cross
505km of some of the toughest terrain in Australia, The Simpson Desert. You can be there whilst they trek to the Birdsville Races by checking in on
the Tracking WWW site. http://www.ausgpstracking.com.au/
The trip is the brainchild of team leader Des Devereux, a Swan Hill identity
who has for 20 years been a tireless organiser of events to raise money for
worthy causes.
During the trip the team hopes to attract an interest by the public to raise
money for the National Depression Initiative program called "beyondblue".
If you have GoogleEarth loaded you can also be there by adding http://202.173.135.68/ge/ as a 'Network
Link' inside the Google Earth application and tell it to update every 15
minutes (More instructions available on http://radio-active.net.au/web/teamtrack/googlesetup.html)
Radioactive Networks software is being used in the back end to collect the
GPS positions, and show them.
The technical details are described on this site - http://radio-active.net.au/web/teamtrack/white.html
And until things are fully operational you can see the snapshots on this
