The Gunbarrel Highway

The Gunbarrel Highway, one of the roads created by Len Beadell's Gunbarrel Road Construction Party, between 1956 and 1958 in Central Australia.
The road goes all the way starting from the Stuart Highway, just South of Kulgara in the Northern Territory to Carnegie Station (and on to Wiluna) in Western Australia.
Untill the end of the fifties, there weren't that many roads in Central Australia (and still, there are only a few..).
These days, roads like the Gunbarrel Highway, are mostly used for recreational purposes and for the benefit of Australian garage owners (the road is very corrugated).
But isn't it beautiful.......
