Thursday 8 July: Mt Augustus - Tom Price (514km)
Mt Augustus Outback Tourist Resort
There were lots of dips on this road - not all of them marked
The corrugations on the road were so bad that you had to drive with one hand on the windscreen wipers to keep them from going on!
Cattle on the road, a fairly common sight, though they mostly stayed on the sides
