Hi All
Read a recent thread with regard to speed on the GRR which tells me a few have recently returned so, I was wondering if any of those travellers have any word on the road conditions on the GRR at present?

Came off it yesterday, but have only travelled from Great Northern Hgway to
Home Valley Station and return.
It is sealed for about 60% from highway to
El Questro, but from EQ to HVS the corrugations are not to bad if you can get tyre pressure and speed to work for you, if you can't then the corrugations are bad.
Cheers
Baz

Saw two accidents whilst we were driving the GRR a couple weeks ago, one was serious. We did an average speed around 80 and whilst we could have gone quicker, I wouldn't have enjoyed the drive as much. Graders were going through at the time so that should give you a guide. Lots of traffic towards the end of our trip, they were coming from
Derby side. Large convoy.
Hope you have a great trip and love the journey as much as we always do.

Did a quick trip down the Gibb leaving
Wyndham Sunday and arriving
Broome yesterday, and its in top condition. Immaculate i would say. Some
places i was SAFELY sitting on 95km/hr. Mostly 80km/hr, but LOTS and LOTS of traffic.
LOTS and LOTS of people with no idea also. I honestly mean NO IDEA. This trip really opened up my eyes as to why there are 3 tow truck companies here in
Broome, and nearly everyday all 3(5 trucks) of them are carrying damaged vehicles.
