The Laverton Shire only looks after the track till the boarder, when we graded this we also graded the Connie Sue in the Shire boundry

slowly, on the SA side anyways...

expect corrugations, sandy driving, remote - with looooooong distances between fuel and water stops, little traffic.

Bri,

Anne Beadell was up our way last night. She said her and Len once went out there with a minister to do a christening, he was driving a Subi and Len was surprised as to how well it went..

Your only draw back will be tyre wall size and fuel carying...

We will be on it about June 6 to 12 so I guess we will see its condition then..

I spoke to a VKS737 member on last night's HF radio sked - he was out around the EMU area on the AB - going west - rattling along on the corrugations, and doing a leisurely 100km or so a day - mostly at 25 / 30 kph - he had done a few trips along there over the years and this was the slowest, due to the surfaces there.

I went across the AB a couple of years ago and came across an elderly couple from Tasmania who were driving their Subaru Outback across W to E. Saw them around Anne's Corner and later a few bits of plastic I suspect they left behind. They were as happy as!!
