Was wondering if any one from here has been along there and if it is worth the drive?.
i may be in the area in a couple of weeks and have heard there are some awsome sights to see, but alot of corrugations and sharp rocks as well.

i have done the road, its an awesome sight
lots to see and do, lots of side tracks that go to spectacular places.
but yes, corrugations and ruts can get quite big, i did it in a 100 series landcruiser and by the time we finished the road the car felt like it was 20 years older
but as long as you take ur time, it can be overcome
theres a road that goes from the gibb river road up to kalumburu which is also an awesome trip, but it makes the trip a lot longer, and the road can be closed without notice as well.
but if you are willing to spend the time on the road, go do it!!
i found it fantastic
