ditto to most of the above.
It's not a killer road, just gets a bit corrugated sometimes more that other times.
Remember your in indigenous peoples country here and there are tribes who still
camp out in the scrub, most likely you wont see them. However respect their territory, there is a 100 meter wide corridor through which the track runs so your
camping shouldn't be any further than 50meters from either side of the highway.
Slow right down if you see on comming traffic & stop totally for the road trains.
Check the tyres any time you stop, and the oil (carry spare) etc daily before heading off.
In the tool kit beside a good pair of pliers throw in a roll of tie wire.
Don't aim at the big gibbers on the road, and stay out of the road side drains/dishes - they might look nice and smooth without correcations but there a stakes 'n gibbers in there waiting to rip the sides outa y' tyres.
