Bob travelled from
coober pedy to
Neale junction then up the connie sue last month
coober pedy to mable creek is a
well graded road. it is sandy and rocky and very corrigated to the start of tarralinga park then sandy the track is very corrigated all the way to vokers
hill then it improves slightly to the W.A border the track widens and improves to Ilkurlka then was freshly graded to
neale junction My tips are let your tyres down to low 20s psi we travelled 20 to 30 kph. turn your mirrors in ,make sure your suspention is A1. There is no water on the S.A side The W.A side has very good fresh Water emergency tank water that were full from the plenty of rain they have had out there this year.I have not seen the country looking better plenty of camels that dont want to get of the road . All four vehicals in our group broke something on the S.A section the worst being a power steering hose from the bad corrigations . My 200 series broke a spare wheel catch New troop carrier broke its battery holder Patrol some damage to tray having said that nothing that stopped us .This is one of the best trips the wild flowers will be fantastic they were just starting when we were there. Great facilities at Ilkurlka a hot shower was great.
