Road from Thargomindah, Eromanga, Windorah, Jundah, in and out of Stonehenge - all sealed now although just one lane much of the way but all good as very little traffic. Ignore the 'Dry weather only' sign on the southern Stonehenge road - needs updating as the road is now sealed all the way.

Spida be aware that "Dry weather only", also refers to the roads propensity to flood which could leave travellers stranded. Another reason not to use in wet is water seeps in under bitumen - if driven on when the water is under bitumen the road "pumps" and breaks up. The Shire prefers not to be used in wet weather.

 True - but I did ask the locals and they think it should be removed as the road has only just been sealed, and it was the dirt road was a problem after rain. Still - thought I would let people know both access roads to Stonehenge are sealed, and a great little CP - and pubbiggrin
