Plenty & Donohue Hwy’s & Kennedy Developmental Road

In June/July this year my wife and I are considering travelling from Perth to Caloundra in Queensland.

Instead of travelling across the Nullarbor on the bitumen I am considering travelling across the Great Central Road to Alice Springs and then across to Caloundra.

I have used the NRMA route planner and from Alice Springs it is suggesting that I go via the Plenty & Donohue Hwy’s and the Kennedy Developmental Road.

I have no knowledge of this route and I am seeking some input from anyone who has knowledge of the area. Is this a viable alternative to the Nullarbor route?

I will be driving a Prado diesel in good condition, have a little knowledge of outback driving but no mechanical knowledge. Sleeping in tent.

Are these roads sealed, good condition etc? I don’t mind gravel but not too keen on bulldust, holes etc.

Is there anything of interest on this route and are camping sites available? Are permits required?

Happy for any input, thanks.
