I would like to go to
Cameron Corner in a Hyundai i40 Tourer in few days time travelling from
Broken Hill. Not knowing the condition of the roads, can it be done with such a car? Thank you.

Stick to the main roads and you'll be fine. Remember to take it steady as you won't be on bitumen and avoid driving early morning, late afternoon because of wildlife. If there was a rare event of heavy rain you should give it a miss. Pack extra water and food, just in case. You will not have phone reception so don't rely on that in an emergency, although there are plenty of people heading out that way.
Check at the
tourist information centre on road conditions before you go.
Enjoy it, it is a great part of the world.

Years ago, we were out there - magic place. We went from Tiboorburra to Camerons Corner to Innaminca in a near new Pajero. No problems. We came over the crest of a
sand dune and saw coming towards us a 4 year old front wheel drive Nissan Pintara with about 100 mm ground clearance, towing a 12 ft back door caravan.coming up the dune. I pulled over as far as I could to give them room, and was checking the left passenger door mirror as they went past. My wife said "That was a woman driving that rig, and she was on her own". We both agreed that her husband must have been feeling crook (seasick) and laying down because we were a bit that way ourselves with the dunes. When we got to Innaminca, the publican asked us which way we came, and we told him. "You didn't see a 74 year old woman with a caravan out there did you?" We told him that we had and that she was going OK. "Good" he said "We were a bit worried about her". When we got back to Tiboorburra, she was in the same caravan park, and apparently she did everything herself except reverse the rig. So it is possible to go out there with a standard car and enjoy it. Just drive to the conditions, and hope that it doesn't rain because you will be stuck for a while until things dry out again. But that applies to 4x4 vehicles as
well.
