Yes, corrugations always feel better on the wrong side of the road. Obviously something to do with the shape.

Sigh. When I went to Mitchell Plateau there were no corrugations because there were too few cars and you couldn't travel fast enough to cause corrugations - I doubt that bus would have gotten in there. At the falls there were no buses, no helicopters, no buildings, one information sign and perhaps a long drop. We were there for 3-4 days and there were about 2-3 other cars around at any time. In fact the whole Kimberley was like that. We had Lennard River Gorge to ourselves for 3-4 days.

It would be nice if these places remain challenging to get to, just to keep some relatively unspoiled places from being impacted too much, it destroys their special atmosphere.

Obviously I agree with those sentiments but I fear the horse has bolted. Roads are too good, 4WDs too common (and too comfortable - we had to survive in a 47 series) and
some people 
keep posting photos of how beautiful it is.
