Thread: Road Conditions???

After the recent big dust storms, I think you will find the roads pretty bad.
A lot of it will be down to hard rutted clay. Sand will have been moved about and holes hard to spot. Depens on how much traffic has been thu since.
Slow down, keep an eye out and check over the vehicle at each stop.

Besides that, enjoy the trip.

Cheers.

Gday George

go to this site and on the left towards the bottom there is a button for ROAD CONDITIONS, it may help not sure

Thanks All;

Yes it will be hot but it's the only time I can get away this year!!! (So PLENTY of cold ones!!).

It's also for a good cause, a survey for the next 4wd Variety Bash, in April next year.

Good point about the sand!!


I tried the web site, thanks, but it links to the others I have been too.

Thanks again, George.
