Motorists
Share the driving to avoid driver fatigue and be aware of forward facilities and services - some fuel outlets have limited opening hours. Always carry sufficient water and spare parts. You'll be sharing the road with everything from cyclists to road trains (prepare for wind turbulence).
Cyclists
Be prepared for all weather conditions. April to May, and August to November are possibly the best times for cycling. Take care on dirt roads - expect corrugations, gravel, sand and snakes. Ensure you have spare parts and carry at least five litres of drinking water. Wear bright reflective clothing, use lighting and avoid roads at nght and during bad weather.
