The info in the route description says well 36-51 can be quite boggy and I hear there has been a reasonable amount of rain on the route this year. Has anyone driven the route recently to know what the current condition of this and other sections are at the moment?

It was fine about seven weeks ago...Would be a tad more chopped up now. Around Lake gregory was ok, Balgo and Mulin were messy two weeks ago.

When you say messy - boggy and difficult to pass or a bit muddy bit easy to pass?

Messy = corrugated, rutted with a topping of bulldust

Mate, I just finished it and the track was up that end fine 2 1/2 weeks ago. Thier was some rain when we got to Well 33 (about an inch) but it dried up pretty fast. It should still be all good.
