    I just want to go before it gets too crowded..

    30 years ago, I did the drive from Northam up through Newman to Roeburn. We were lucky to see two vehicles in a day when we came back through Gascoyne Junction.

    Did the trip a couple of years later and there were cars every half hour. The feeling of remoteness was almost gone.

    Would love to head back one day with my kids too. Last drove it some 25 years ago on me 'L' plates to the best of my memory it wasn't too busy for us, lucky week no doubt. Probably a good thing as I think Dad used his jocks taped to the liitle am aerial as our flag. Would have been a disaster if some poor adventurer was heading east-west the hard way towards us :-(

    What's the optimal month o year folks for showing my girls the Sturts Pea? I honestly believe it's a must for any Aussie kid to see at least once in a lifetime:-) !
