I-Simpson Desert yase-Australia eshisa ngokuyingozi futhi eyomile izovalwa okokuqala ngqa phakathi nehlobo eliseningizimu nenkabazwe ukuze kuvinjelwe izivakashi ezishona ezindaweni ezisemaphandleni.
Amazinga okushisa e-Simpson Desert Conservation Park kulindeleke ukuthi afinyelele phakathi kwama-degree angu-40 kuya kwangu-50 futhi iziphathimandla zinqume ukuthi izimo zinzima kakhulu ukuba zivumele izivakashi ukuba zingene.
Lesi siqiwu, esihlanganisa amahektha ayizigidi ezingu-3.6 maphakathi nezwe, izovalwa kusukela ngo-Dec 1 kuya ku-Mar 15. Noma ubani oyotholwa ephule umthetho uzohlawuliswa u-$1000.
Umqondisi wokusebenza komnyango esifundeni, uTrevor Naismith, uthe ukuvalwa bekudingeka ukuze kugwenywe ukufa nokuqinisekisa impilo yabasebenzi bezimo eziphuthumayo.
"Kube nenani lokuphuthelwa okuseduze futhi siye saba nokufa eminyakeni edlule ezindaweni ezisenyakatho yeSouth Australia maqondana nabavakashi baphesheya kwezilwandle abangenalo ulwazi futhi abangazilungiselelanga izimo," esho.
“ISimpson Desert ingenye yezindawo ezithakazelisa kakhulu, nezibabazekayo e-Australia, kodwa maphakathi nehlobo futhi ingenye yezindawo ezinokhahlo nezingenamoya wokungenisa izihambi, futhi engase ibe enye yezindawo ezingathetheleli neziyingozi kakhulu.”
UMnu Naismith uthe izimoto eziningi zaphuka emazingeni okushisa aphezulu, okushiya abagibeli bazo bebhajwe phakathi nogwadule.
"Lobu bungozi obukhulu budlulela nakubasebenzi bezimo eziphuthumayo ababizelwe ukusiza abavakashi abaswele."
Izinkulungwane zabavakashi ziyahamba unyaka nonyaka zizobona izindunduma kanye nokwakheka kwamatshe eSimpson Desert.
Kodwa-ke, ayikho imigwaqo elungiswayo epaki, amathrekhi kuphela, futhi ingawela kuphela ngamasondo amane. Zonke izivakashi ziyaxwayiswa ukuthi ziphathe uphethiloli namanzi engeziwe uma kwenzeka kuphuka.
Isilinganiso semvula ngonyaka esifundeni singaphansi kuka-200mm.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- “The Simpson Desert is one of the most fascinating, majestic places in Australia, but in the middle of summer it’s also one of the harshest and the least hospitable areas, and potentially one of the most unforgiving, dangerous places.
- “There’s been a number of near misses and we have had deaths in past years in the northern parts of South Australia in relation to overseas tourists who are not experienced and are ill-prepared for the conditions,”.
- Amazinga okushisa e-Simpson Desert Conservation Park kulindeleke ukuthi afinyelele phakathi kwama-degree angu-40 kuya kwangu-50 futhi iziphathimandla zinqume ukuthi izimo zinzima kakhulu ukuba zivumele izivakashi ukuba zingene.
