Planning on driving between these two places next year.
Picking up and dropping off rental car in Alice Springs.
Is this a safe road to drive on. Are there many accidents
on this stretch of road.. No blind corners or bends that will put me
head on with a Bus or semi Trailer.


The mountain range on the road down to Uluru is always a worry, hair pin
bends, ice and snow, no crash barriers to the vallies 000s of metres below.
Snow Kangaroos hopping everywhere ........... if the wildlife dont get you
the natives will.



Hmmmm, I had better use and armour plated 4WD. That should do the trick.
Do you recommend using chains on tyres for the snow and ice???
Or better still I will drive in the middle of summer, to avoid the ice
and snow.
