Anyone done this road in the last month or so? And can offer an assessment of its condition. Have read vastly different assessments on line.

As Ivan has said the finke dessert race was on couple of months ago with hundreds of vehicles using the road at that time.. so unless it has been graded which is unlikely it will be corrugated and rough in my experience . No doubt the worst of it will be closest to
Alice Springs .

I posted yesterday but it didn't get thru
I was there in mid June for the Finke races,
The track itself is extremely rough but the access road about 30m away is in good condition, just drop pressures and slow down
Make sure you visit

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately have been stuck in Alice for vehicle repairs so can no longer try the Old Ghan rd as I have run out of time.
