There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

Bit of time yet, 90 mil from SA gov, still requires 360 mil from Feds.

Caught it on the news and seemed to intimate they had Fed funding and tried to find out more with those links. Big job though and a fair hike for the water tankers so it'll be a while. Getting hungry for more cheaper gas I suppose.

wont it just be a case of joining the dots ? it's been about 5 years since I was last out that way, but from Merty Merty south I recall there being a wide sealed section about 5k long every 50k or so ? to allow overtaking the road trains.....................................or am I suffering old fart memory syndrome ?


edit......seems the grey matter is still workin ok. https://www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/173696/Strzelecki_Track_fact_sheet.pdf

Their propaganda is suggesting that sealing the road will reduce heavy vehicle trip time from 14h to 6h, and that about half the traffic is heavy vehicles, so I guess that is the motivation for sealing the road ?
