>>338874I did the oodnadatta and I decided 600km of dirt and rock that was enough for the poor swift (geometro for yanks) so kept on the main roads after that apart from heading off to camp sites up to a few km off the road. You can be cruising along at 100 and before you know it there is dry creek bed 20 metres ahead. When the car get light and the suspension drops you aint stopping.
Overtaking 52 metre roadtrains on the Stuart with locals in commodores coming the other way at 160 was fun too. This was pre speed limits.
