The Sandover

 

A short trip down the bitumen and we were at the turn off to the Plenty and Sandover highways. The Sandover was the one we were going to follow.

Started off smooth and just graded, but as all good things, it didn’t last. Once again we slowed down and took in the passing scenery.

On the Tanami, we had counted 25 wrecked and abandoned cars, not long down the Sandover the count started again. These remote roads have their own version of car parts stores, cars of all sorts in varying states of disassembly.

This road was 550k to Lake Nash on the Qld boarder then 150 more to Urandangi where we would refuel. By the time we made the boarder we had counted 24 cars, being a shorter road we concluded it was worse in the car wrecking department. 

After a few days enjoying the road we hit Lake Nash and continued on and crossed the boarder. Back in our home state after over three years away, the rain was following us and slowly catching up, not that it worried us now, we were on the bitumen and would be for some time now. We now had to decide where to from here, it would be back to our property soon, but, no need to hurry.
