Road is virtually single lane bitumen with gravel edges. A 5km stretch of highway standard about 30km out indicates an upgrading program. Lightly wooded with scruffy trees, fairly flat with slight undulations. About 20km before Victoria River the country changes dramatically with steep hills and rocky escarpments with the road winding through. The road widens here to allow passing traffic. Very beautiful, photogenic landscape.

 

The first 50km through magnificent country, very scenic with cliffs and escarpments galore. The road improves slightly towards the border, but is less than two lanes wide, but with good gravel edges for passing. At the W.A. border there is a Dept. of Agriculture check point, where fruit, vegetables and honey must be surrendered. There is insufficient warning of this requirement prior to reaching this point.

 

The road is two lane bitumen with enough room for passing large trucks. The trunk road to Lake Argyle is similar. Very scenic section.
