From Truckin’ Life February 2014
The most direct route from the Kimberley to central Australia is the Tanami Track.
About 800 kilometres of this important arterial road is gravel and dirt.
A Kimberley shire has a radical proposal to make it a toll way, charging road trains up to $2,000 to use it, so funds would be available to seal the road.
I explained how this would then open up a major trade route to south-eastern Australia.
