Hi Sharon and I are about to head off on an 8 week trip to the Northern Territory only leaving on the 8th May 2012 travelling firstly from Hervey Bay to Alice Springs. We are contemplating going through Boulia and then across the Plenty Highway, just wondering if anyone has travelled this way recently and has any relevant information(fuel, road conditions etc.)that might help us decide if we should do this. many thanks and happy travels Michael Kennedy (ATV 2 and 200 series LC V8 Diesel)
