I was told that about 60% is paved and 40% dirt. Stopped briefly at the Packsaddle Roadhouse for morning tea and continued to Milparinka....

I find it interesting... this afternoon I checked to see who was online. There were 7 'members' on line (most of whom I had never heard of) - and tonight as I look, none of them contributed. So I was pleased to see who was online tonight...the ones who 'talk'. It's made my day.

Hi Everyone, Thank for the your previous advice. This Forum has proved to be very valuable to Mark and Myself. It has helped us along our journey. We have stayed in about 50/50 Free Camps and Caravan Parks. I never thought I would say this but.... most of the free parks have been better than the paid ones....
