Hi Luke,
Others have probably already stressed the difficulty of this track, but I'll
add my bit...
I've driven that track a good seven or eight times - and each time I do it
scares the willies out of me. The sand is incredibly deep in places - in
particular on the corners - so, as a result it is easy to lose traction in
the worst of places. Surprisingly, the sand is often deep on the upslopes of
the hills - and there are many hills (dunes really). If it has rained, you
would be better off as it makes driving on the sand easier - however, after
really heavy rain, the water accumulates in wheel ruts and other
inconvenient spots, so you are alternately dealing with deep sand and mud!
Somewhere in one of the Vic Desert Parks I have seen a sign which said
"WET WEATHER ROAD ONLY".
