Shortest route it picked out Totals 2464.42 kms 43:19 Hours
Fastest route it picked out Totals 2504.26 kms 29:18 Hours

Put in to and from and it will mark it out step by step for you.

Good luck.

Once you get there got to Mt Stuart, the one with the ariels, not Castle Hill in town. Be careful the first couple of times, and subsequently of course

Seriously but, be careful, its a long fall in some places and very tight.
Also try to check out the racing up ther at the gokart track (?) I think there is a link around here somewhere. They also has a stunt fraternity up there, check out the links in Rapid mag.
The Strand "afternoon parade" in nice now too

Thanks boi's and frog your right bout the speed zone but with the way my bike eats fuel, im going to sprint to katherine then take it easy from then on,
see if i can beat my time of 1 hour 20 from darwin lights to katherine bridge its round 300k's or so.
