Good for everyone who likes easy access and bitumen I guess.

Yes, in May last year, there were 2 teams already working on extending the bitumin bits in the middle. Imagine riding past Docker River, without feeling like you've sailed through a hurricane, in the roaring 40s. There's always the Gunbarrel, I suppose, for the corrugation junkies.

41 kms plus the 60 odd kms that's there already, that means still another 1000 kms to go.
It'll be mainly dirt for a bit long yet.
the 60 odd ks that are spread between Docker River and Warburton are very welcome when your on them.

Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."
