There is a fair amount of surface water up to about well 5 but it does affect driving conditions as the ground is hard in those areas. As I said in the forum the corrugations were a lot worst than I remembered in the Southern areas, one part in particular they were very bad (deep and long). You just have to take it easy.

We had a huge downpour when we reached Durba Springs (which just made the place more special) and we pondered if it would cause a problem getting out, but it drained away by the next day.

The track in general is in an excellent condition with no major issues, Savory Creek was dry enough to drive over with out detour and the claypans were firm although care needs to be taken avoiding previous bogging places.

The dunes were easy enough to traverse all through the route and not cut up but we encountered a group with a trailer going from 33 to 23 so these ones may be a bit more churned now.

A bushfire has been through the northern part of the track and there is a lot of stakes,across the track. We moved a fair amount but beware of tyre damage.

A magnificent track and the scenery is beautiful, my only concern was the amount of rubbish we found scattered by people who don't appreciate it. We ran out of space picking up beer bottles and other bits and pieces that were tossed onto the track itself.

Have a ball email me if you want any other info.

ps fuel at 33 $3.20 litre
