    It's been maybe 12 years though since I drove it so my knowledge of current conditions is non existent mate.

    Give it a crack you'll be right.

    And check Hema Outback Maps, or at very least Google Old Eyre Highway for some things to see along the way. Some good shit out there.
    Thanks Plasnart. I am not a novice and I know all the logical stuff, have the gear, I might need, have done all the google things, and even watched a couple of youtube vids as well - I was just looking for relatively recent conditions as all say that it is totally unmaintained. Actually hope it is not too easy!
    Weather is causing a little grief at the moment as there are quite a few closures through SA including Birdsville Track.

    I was thinking about coming home that way for a bit of fun. Other options included the Darling River run but that is also closed.
    Hopefully things will open up in the next couple of weeks. I would hate to have to come back on nothing but black stuff.
