Anne Beadell Highway

Hi Skip
I can't join you, because we're off along the Gary Junction and then up to the Gulf this year.
But we did the AB last year and it's a fantastic trip. Some really good campsites along the way and a few of them have long drops and water suitable for washing etc.
You need to be prepared for a bit of pin-striping as the track is narrow in parts. Nothing particularly difficult, though I wouldn't tow anything larger than a good off-road camper trailer.
The western end from Leonora is a wide graded road because there is quite a bit of mining activity in the area, and it gets a bit rougher as you go east.
Need to check with Maralinga/Woomera, as sometimes sections of the eastern end are closed due to testing in the prohibited area.
There's not a lot of traffic on the AB, but certainly enough that you don't need to worry too much about travelling solo - so long as you have a well set-up ehicle and the necessary communications gear.
Enjoy!!

I'm heading out there end of June when the Woomera Prohibited zone reopens but would be keen to see your report once you have done it so I get an idea of what to expect. We are then heading up the Canning and across to Alice via Kiwikurra then across the Northern Simpson.

We are doing some of it at Easter
