Actually, sometimes going off topic isn't all that bad - it keeps the thread right on top of all the others!
For all those travelling from South of Adelaide, my preference route is via Monarto then either Mannum / Walkers Flat, or Sedan / Cambrai. No traffic lights from freeway, and the roads are very reasonable. For what it's worth, the Murray Bridge / Karoonda / Loxton road is not only longer, but worse for towing.
Hope to see as many of you up here as possible for this first and only country leg of the traveller series.
Cheers
