Travelling North East

Went from Warburton across to Ayers Rock August '05. No worries, can maintain good speed, spectacular scenery.

Pete,
Thanks for the post. We're also travelling the road in a couple of months and like you, we are looking for as much information as possible.

Regards,

there has been many many rains the last couple of months - lake throssel has lots of water and has flowed across and along the road - give warburton a call and they should be able to help. when dry the road is suitable for anything. if you have time make the sidetracks and have a look at empress srpings and the len beadel memorial. rgds

Just came across your Q about the GCR Ive been over it twice in the last 16 months and had no problems except the first trip i was acually working , had a convoy of Heavy Haulage trucks and a couple of Road Trains mixed in , 110 Klm west of Giles it Rained for half the night and the Trucks lost traction so we camped up for 1 and half days the got caught on the sand hill at Docker River but as for a 4x4 you will have no troubles , 2 road houses between Laverton and Yulara and the WA leg is well maintained and could have cruised at 90k no worries, even seen a couple of caravans,The Aboriginals are using normal 2 wheelers most times , when they expire they burn em.
