Plenty Way - Boulia to Alice Sand Dunes?

If there was any sand dunes across the road they would only be minor, it's a major road between the regions and most of it you can sit 90-110Kph (Disclaimer for the white coat brigade - This speed is dependent on Vehicle, driver skills and Conditions - always drive at a safe speed within your limits). LOL

Was out there recently and travelled the Sandover which is apparently in better condition. But no one mentioned sand hills on the Plenty??

No sand dunes across the road in June..nothing to winch from anyway. While we certainly didn't do anything like 100 kmh, we had a chap pass us doing just that....
with a flat tyre on his Nissan Wagon. We waved frantically, he waved casually back..
& drove on. Perhaps one of those more experienced drivers
Olcoolone refers to. When we caught up to him, stopped, most of the tyre was gone.
What pressure said I...25 psi said he. Pump em up said I...no way ..said he..just bad luck. As the rim was too hot to touch I talked him into jacking up a front wheel..even it was bloody hot. I then spun the wheel & showed him the tyre wobbling . Bent rim
says he..stuffed tyre says I. And another two like it by the look of the scalloped side
walls. That coincided with a dummy spit & personal abuse so I took my leave of him & the overloaded Nissan. It was only a couple of Km from Atitjere anyway.
The road varies from good bitumen to good gravel to corros that are awful...typical
outback highway. Show it, & your car, the respect due & you should have a good
trip..it is another great outback drive..cheers....oldbaz.

Purrfect surface Jervous to Alice.

Mate, you have got to be careful about rumours. Track is more like gravel, corrigations and bulldust. Make sure you have a set tyre pliers, I had six punctures on that road. Enjoy

A month ago I travelled Alice Springs-Tobermoray Station (Plenty)......great road, we travelled about 85 KPH, tyre pressures 32/34

When it changed to Donohue Highway (into my home state of QLD), the road was still pretty good BUT lots of sharp rocks.

I slowed down and dropped tyre pressures back to 28/30 BUT 2 of my travelling companions did tyres on this leg (Coopers)......my BFG's and another vehicles Mickey Thompson's didn't have any issues.

BUT def NO dunes at all

Came the other way last week towing Aussie Swag Camper. All OK but needs a grader lots of corrugations. Tobermory Station just over border in NT great place to stop o/n.
