We have just come across to Queensland and were rained in on the Donohue and
Plenty Highway. The WA section is deluxe from
Leonora through to Warrukuna. After that over to Docker River up to Katja Tala (The Olgas), it was very corrugated. You just have to go steady. The drive was very good prior to that section we averaged 90 - 100 kmph.
Campsites along the way, the best ones we found were the main roads sites. The work crews have put in a little siding to turn around off the road. Just keep your eye out and you find them. There are no other vehicles using these. The campsites mentioned in Camps 5 are always full. We camped all the way along, lit the fire and enjoyed the silence, the dingos howling, many birds and great sunrise and sunsets.
Do not drive into the dirt especially once you get into NT and if going to Qld do not go off the track, the black is soil is a nightmare.
It was good value going over. Just allow time and it is a long drive. Mark
