The road is generally good. However be aware that after grading, a lot of screws and nails come to the surface from the transport of equipment to the mining sites.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, it's a pretty easy run.
If you decide to stay over night in
Meekatharra (depeniding on the day) give a bit of thought to secruity.

Damn it Kim, im staying Meeka in a couple of days. At the Auski motel, is it worth taking out my Waeco at night? What other measures should i take? Does anyone know how secure the premises are?

Dunc
Yes I was a bit disappointed with that, then again I live in Victoria. LOL

Like a lot of these country towns, the locals can get a bit carried away from time to time. During my last stay in
Meekatharra there was a bit of trouble in the caravan park, and a lot of equipment was vandalised in the Council depot.
Just take normal precautions and you’ll be right.

Was over the road a couple of weeks ago. Good gravel the whole way. Was a bit damp in light rain so no dust.
Stayed at the Auski - no problems from the locals.
