Last year the first 20K out of
Boulia was a highway. Then it was 50k/h until the border with lots of hoop de doos. Bit rough until Jervois where the serious corros started. One blowout. That was just after they'd opened it to traffic after the rains.
Even under those conditions I drove
Boulia to Alice in 1 day, not stopping much. I was a bit of a zombie at the end. This year I'm taking 2 days to do it.
If there's no more serious rain, the road boys should have a bit of it whipped back into shape by the time you go.
The first time I did the Plenty years ago we couldnt see what all the fuss was about. Obviously we must have followed in the path of a road crew :)))
Mind you we did find the
dingo fence track "interesting".
Just take it easy, fuel and camping availiable at 2
places (+gemtree), watch your tyres and have a great trip.
