Obviously no one on this forum has been there recently.

Those roads are normal graded roads and you may experience corrugations, smooth sections, stones, gibber and slate.

If the report said what it said then just heed that.

A bloke who frequents this forum was hiking along the Coober Pedy/Oodna road a year or so ago at a frenetic pace when he became airborne crossing a cattle grid. Made a real mess of one shockie.

Just drive to conditions and enjoy the trip.

Hi Barry
We always appreciate info on Road Conditions after you have travelled the particular Road. The Road Conditions Reports are Interactive so you can post your own feedback.
Obviously we rely on as many sources as possible to keep conditions updated and accurate.
