Thanks for the comment Marion,

No the dip is actually just past the sign. In the photo you can see a line going across the road about half way up the sign post. That is the dip. This is not a trick photo either, that's actually how they appear to the eye too (or should I say, don't appear).

This dip is actually big enough that if a car was in it, you wouldn't see it until it came up the other side. Not to mention the rut at the bottom.

Wow, that road looks fascinating!! And definitely like a mirage! Is that dip sign standing in the middle of the actual dip? M I seeing that correctly? And I was thinking we had bad roads in Ireland, potholes and more potholes to rupture your tyres, but you have a bad situation there as well. You were using a 4-wheel drive were you?

Great story again James, I love to read them all!!
Cheers, Marion

And it can be such a jaw shattering crunch too. Part of the fun and charm of the outback. Thanks for the comment

Oh I know what you mean… I found a few of these on the back dirt road from White Cliffs to Broken Hill… screaming along and then crunch…. always a bit on the unnerving side that is for sure.

Not all unpaved roads are developmental roads. I'm not totally sure what the actual classifications are to make a road of developmental road but they all seem to be right in the outback away from everything and are really really long.

Imagine that, unpaved roads in Australia have their own special name. Learn something new every day! Definitely something to keep an eye out for! Awesome pics, too. I love all kinds of pics from Australia, these one happen to be awesome.
