    Sounds like you need to take rocks, not pictures.

    Have they sealed some of it?, I'm sure the unsealed section was 120km when I did it back in 1988 (not on a pussy adventure bike either)

    Your camera must be a lot better than mine to, if I remember rightly, you're right across the other side of the gully to get that shot of the bridge?

    Yeah, they've sealed a bunch of it, about 25 k's past where that photo was taken. the photo was from the other side of the gully.
