Did it east to west 3 weeks ago, was fine, just badly corrogated 20 km either side of Docker. River, let ya tyres down and take it easy.

Drop into "Chookarilla" and say g'day to Al and Serena.

Six weeks ago this is what it looked like around Docker River, not suprised its very corrugated now. More info on my blog...

As Andrew said, let the tyres down to the right pressure and you will not have any issues.

Cheers

G'day Joe, Mel and kids,
As Andrew says, there has been some corrugations, and it has got worse in areas since he was through. Especially the first 100kms from Laverton ( which the grader is on now) and the 120kms this side of Warburton, which I believe should also be seeing a grader shortly.
Call in and say g'day, and grab your Exploroz member coffee.

Cheers Al
