Hi Karl
Wife n I stopped over
Easter at
Fowlers Bay, on our way
home from wa. Have always had a bit of a chuckle to myself about the road in.. We followed the hema, we saw the first turn off, nearly did a U ie, but the gps said to keep going along the hwy, and turned right onto some little like
farm track, which wasn't to bad, after letting a bit of air out, for a smoother ride, it took us past, I think it was an old school
ruins, the track was ok, but a bit rough. We eventually came out onto a decent dirt road which led us to FB.
During our stay (4 nights) several people asked us which way we came in, and how the road was, the talk around the park was that the east (black top and gravel) road was totally shocking, badly corrugated, rough as guts! We had even considered going out the west route. But quite a few thought the way we came in sounded much better.. When we packed up and hit the road (about 4am) we headed out the east route.. I and my wife couldn't believe the amount of fuss that was made about the road condition,
camp trailer in tow, it was a great drive out, little be of corrugation, we had actually aired up the night before we left, and it was fine.. I just think how many might have gone out the way we came in, they would have turned around I recon. But I guess it just goes to show, some peoples thinking is way different to others.
We had a great time in FB, the Saturday night
cook up was fantastic, I remember I got extra calamari, one of the lads who was serving dinner, was from wa, though he could only see the top ring on my beer can in the stubby holder, "hey you haven't got a spare emu export, have ya mate" think maybe he was a bit
home sick.. Great people.. Great place... Of course I gave him one.. How do ya think I got extra calamari .. Cheers Odog

Yes, the comments regarding the road caused me a wry smile.
After nearly 4 months in the outback WA goldfields it was just a normal country road.
Was told about the Sat seafood night, sorry we missed it but time was running out.
We hadn't even contemplated stopping there, just a look see as we passed through.
As they say about the NT... "you wont know if ya don't go"
