Adelaide's city is easier to open than domestic cities, but because of the narrower roads in the city, there will be a lot of one-way routes, and it will be much more comfortable to have GPS directions at this time.
The first section of the long distance: from Adelaide to the port of Augusta, more than 300 km of road, the entire high-speed, although most of the two-way only one lane, but very few cars, so it is easy to walk.
The second section of the long distance: Port Augusta to Galdner Salt Lake, the whole journey is also about 300 kilometers, but the second half of the journey is difficult, there are a few points need to be noted.
1 the route from Augusta to Salt Lake is not a single one, we choose to go from A to B by highway, Iron Knob town, then go north. The road from A to B is still easy to walk, but after point B it is completely dirt road. And the more walking, the more earth.
The second half of the road is not only hard, but also deserted, from time to time on both sides of the kangaroo. We had a kangaroo danger, and we almost ran into car accident.
After a long dirt road, we will come to the town of Mount Ive, which is actually a supply station and the gate to Galdner National Park, where tickets will be needed to give you the key to the salt lake (there are a few iron gates on the road). In addition, if you worry that the return oil is not enough, you can also refueling here, but the cost is very expensive, we only added 20 dollars of oil just in case. From Mount Ive leave, a little dirt road, we are in a lifetime of unforgettable, pure white world. At this point, you must feel that no matter what happened, the 600-kilometer road was worth it.
communication
In particular, it is reminded that there is no mobile phone signal at all on the dirt road from Iron Knob to Salt Lake, and it is suggested that we take care of all kinds of things in the civilized world before we go on the road.
Lake Gaeldner, (Lake Gairdner)
Although the time spent with it is less than a fraction of the amount of time spent on the whole trip, the rest of the time can be said to be in pursuit of it with a quick glance, but never forget. The whole lake evaporates and condenses into pure white crystals because it is exposed to the sun all year round and often dries up. Here the white so you can not see the edge, in front of the sky is blue and the lake white these two purest colors. Blue and white, as if in the world of fairy tales, so there is also the title of "fairytale land." It is also worth mentioning that Takeshi has come here to take pictures of the outside oh.
[化] matters need attention
The road from the port of Augusta to salt lake is very difficult to find a place to replenish food, from the traffic information mentioned in the Iron Knob is after the original world, no cell phone signals, no water, no food. Australia is very dry inland, recommend that you buy food and water and other necessities in the port of Augusta on the road.
There are a lot of flies in Australia inland. Let me show you a picture to prove it.
Salt Lake is not allowed to drive in. It's not just to protect the lake. If you drive in, the wheels could get stuck in the lake. It's no joke to wait for help in the wilderness. At the place where the keys were held, visitors from the past also wrote that the trailer cost a 1000 knife. Although there is no one to manage, please protect the environment and protect yourself ~
Finally, remind you to rent GPS, or you are most likely to get lost because there is no cell phone signal. Pay attention to driving safety, driving on the left side of the highway we generally drive very fast, and the road on both sides of the field of vision, so you may not feel how fast you drive, must pay attention to the speed meter, the corner should pay special attention to deceleration.
