Yeah its some really awesome country up here. But Handy Wanderer don't be affraid to try and come. Its not that difficult really. The roads are really good (they are bitumen) getting to Lyndhurst which is only 80klm's souht of Marree which is pretty much the closest town to get to see lake eyre. The last 80klm's is a gravel road, but is almost a highway without a bitumen seal. Yes at times there are a few bumps etc, depending on recent weather, and maintainence. But the road crews based here in town do a pretty good job keeping it open and in good condition.

Don't ever say one day. Get out there and check it out. And if the van in your profile picture is your means of transport, it will definately make it, unless it has rained in the last few days. We get two wheel drive cars here all the time. We even had a near new jag up here last season. Just drive to the conditions and you will be fine.
