We have just done the
Great Central Road,
Laverton to Ayres Rock, Land Cruiser 100 series V8 Petrol with “off road” van, the road is quite good 7/10……… until you get to Docker River then the road is very corrugated 4/10 so you just take it easy……………..but generally no problem……………
Tjukayirla Roadhouse has a good caravan
park, also Warakurna Road House has a good Caravan
Park, Both very clean and tidy, no problems with the availability of petrol along the way, its opal petrol made by BP, I didn’t notice any difference whatsoever in the running of the Vehicle, its all they sell in
Alice Springs………….When you stop at Warakurna go to the
Giles Weather Station for the tour, Giles WS is about 1 km from the Road House…………Price of Petrol around $1.95…………diesel about the same price………..At
Warburton the Store Manager told us that his diesel comes from Kalgoorlie and the Petrol (Opal) from
Alice Springs………….the only wildlife we saw along the entire trip were Camels and one Black Cat,……….. Not one Kangaroo…Hope this helps anyone who is going to do the trip
