Sandy Blight Junction Road

The Sandy Blight Junction Road is one of those great four wheel drive trips that one visit will not be enough to experience the true beauty of this remote part of Outback Australia.

You will have a ball.

Brett,

I did a track report and a couple of Blog entries for it. Plenty of photo's in them. Great (but corrugated) trip. Remember that the midway bore and handpump are Salty so don't rely on it for water.

Cheers Mick.

SBJR is a top track. Easy going. Good bush camping.
We didn't see another car for three days when we did the track in October this year.
