Rig Road

Open 4WD
The Rig road is deteriorating & becoming quite rough; with its clay capping slowly breaking up care must be taken when cresting sand dunes, this track can have corrugations, deep washouts & rutting. Sand dunes between the Knolls track and the K-1 Line are more difficult to cross especially from the west.
