Thanks for all the great info.
Can anyoone expand on what the road conditions are like, any other driving tips for the outback. I am a real city bloke, never driven outback further west than about Cobar, infact still have problem with the idea that milk actually comes from a cow, and not Woolworths *LOL*.
Apart from the obvious things like having your car, tires, radiator etc in good condition, what else would one take.
How about dealing with road trains.
How early in the day can you head out and how late into the day can you press on, I understand at night it is dangerous due wildlife etc. Where does this zone start, how far west of Sydney can you go before you shouldnt drive at night.
Yes I understand I am in for a real culture shock, but I guess thats half of the adventure.
