Great Central Road

In your post at the bottom of the page there are HTML boxes. One with Great Central Road and the other with Road Conditions. Click on them for more info. You may also do an Archive Search as there is plenty written on the GCR. Last post was about 10 days ago, I think

we did it last July in our Patrol towing an offroad camper trailer.Apart from some bad corogations in one secction (about 100k or so)we reckon it was a good road.Take it steady and it is a great trip.We will do it again next year

Kingeoerge, went through there twice in 3 years the last in August last year. On both occasions the road to the NT border was pretty good, from the border to the Olga's was heavily corrugated and areas of soft sand. A couple in a Patrol and a 16 foot ordinary caravan took 2 days to get from the camp at Docker River to the Olgas.

I did it 2 weeks ago,there and back. Its in good condition in the centre of the road but the edges are sloping and slippery.
Corrugations were there but not noticeable.
The best part of the road was from Laverton to Warburton after that there are about 100 or so dips in the road and not all are sign posted .
The dips are small dried creeks that run in the wet but are are fairly well maintained with the odd one a little rough at the bottom.

I kept my speed down to suit conditions and if you do the same you will be fine.

My speedo says it was 2050 klms from Perth to Uluru

Hint - buy a window squeegee and keep some spray on window cleaner handy.
My windscreen washers couldnt do the job especially with the ones that make the big yellow splatLOL

Done the bit from Uluru down to Giles.

This bit was in top condition, even passed a local magna & falcon along here.

We wern't towing anithing though.

We then headed down to the anne beadell hwy from giles.

The road is magnificent. It is like a huge smooth dirt freeway. It gets a little rougher on the NT side but just slow to 70. it'll save you heaps of fuel and time.
