If any. When we were there a young couple were camping out that was and had sheared of the trailer spring carrier. he went to ask if it could be welded and the bloke said he was to busy to help and took off down the road, they were devastated. Anyway, we fixed it for them and all good but what bad form

The track has changed in my opinion since the last time I did it in 05 (I was there last week) it seems like there's less gibber now. The remoteness of this track has also been down graded. All jokes aside I overtook an ss commodore and a falcon towing an on road caravan just south of Oodnadatta. Heaps of subarus. The track appears to be a common root for the family sedan.
