Well I went from Canberra to Narooma the other week. After the long and difficult trek through roadworks and down the Clyde (Mostly @ 60ks) I finally got to Batemans Bay. The last 50k's to Narooma and a rest was the longest road I have travelled in a long time. And I have driven all the other highways as well. Except the Anne Beadell and the tanami. The 360k,s of dirt to Birdsville was pretty long too. For me, its a matter of difficulty.

"OPPS" Seems I left out one very important word in the heading, I was referring to WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

Hi msg,
I have to agree, for me the most difficult so far has been the Nathan River Road & its only 319km long. 2nd would be the road from Mt. Dare to Dalhousie (even shorter) & 3rd would be Noccundra to Tibooburra via the Warri Gate.
Which way into Birdsville are you referring to msg? I really enjoyed the road in from Windorah, but found the Birdsville Track a bit disappointing to be honest.
One I really liked though was the Dowling Track through Hungerford :D

Hi trouto,
Its a great drive, but it is rocky! We drove from Eromanga down to Tibooburra in the one day if that helps?
The 1st pic was driving into Noccundra from the Qld side. 2nd pic is on the road from Noccundra to Tibooburra.
The Silver City Hwy to Broken Hill is more of the same!
For those who like a long Drive.............
Road

Cant believe you missed the Stuart Highway @ 2834 km the longest by far.

Quilpie, Eromanga (Have a base there) Wyndorah and Birdsville. Just the direct route.
