In all of these trips I found that the Nullabor should lift it,s limit from 110 to maybe 120 but I think the 130 limit on the Stuart Hwy and Barkley are quite adequate. The roads could definately handle greater speeds with ease ( I got to 160 in one spot) but the animals on the sides of the road is enough to slow me down. Kangaroos everywhere and herds of cattle wandering around, Imagine trying to pull up from 200kph...and thats in daylight hours...after dusk, FORGET IT!!
Hey Boxhead, whats with all the car bodies in the bush, we saw them every where we went except the road to the rock, obviously somebody cleans them up.
Cheers

My grandfather over the decades use to buy up properties in certain areas when they were available. In the US especially in the canyon areas of Malibu he put together a nice size parcel. Over the decades there have been many brush fires in this area and I guess in over 50 years it added up to a grand size. I went hiking one day in a certain area and couldn't believehow many older cars were at the bottom on some cliffs. Even today on the public roads with barriers cars still go over and the cars are left.
