looking for travel companions for great central road

Hi Ross,
I worked out there for a while and, because I wasn't sightseeing, found the best time to travel is at night, much cooler and no local traffic.
The roos are about until you get past Cosmo and camels being diurnal will sometimes sleep on the road but with a good set of lights and cutting speed back on corners are easy to spot.

Just my two bobs worth.

Cheers,
Dennis

Dennis, i would not travel between dusk and dawn. Even in the day time, camels can come out in front of you at short notice and just stop the traffic. Kangaroos are totally unpredictable.

Like Motherhen has posted. We nearly collected a camel last year between Warburton and Warakurna. Even though the road is really wide, there are sections where the vegetation is quite dense and in one such spot, the camel must have heard our vehicles coming and did the old harry bolt right in front of my vehicle - a very good way of giving the old heart a real work out.

Like all the others have said, there is always lots of traffic, keep your speed and tyre pressures down and things being equal, you should have an easy trip if it is not wet.

Take your time as there is lots to see.

Cheers

Some of the bends can come up on you quick in the day,at night with dust from another car ,you are driving blind.
I did a short stint one night to get to the camping area but I wish I hadnt.

Someone hit a camel not far behind me in broad daylight. Its a big trip in the ambulance even if you aqre within range of an airstrip
