Hi Bob,

Did the Sandover with camper trailer about a month ago.
From south first 70 -80 k excellent could sit on 90 if you want, then deteriorated but still very good. In my opinion better than the Plenty, but quite narrow in places but VERY Little traffic.

Having said that there a couple of places where you wouldnt want to be in the wet For example, the area past Lake Nash as it is a black soil plain. From there you need a Gps to be sure where you are as there are plenty of tracks and virtually no signs till you get a lot further north. Trust the GPS and your'e fine. Didnt try the route through Urandangi as it looked no more than a track from where we branched off but could be better further on.

For camping. there is about 40k of bitumn between two aboriginal communities starting from memory about 200k from the turn-off from the Plenty. About 25K north of the first community there is a very large gravel pit/ road work area on your right, travelling north. Looks like it was the work camp site for the road crew. good firm base and you can park hidden from the road.

Otherwise camp in the bush anywhere. Our problem was there was fires going everywhere. The night we camped there was 5 around us. hence the camp in the cleared area.

Hope this helps.
