<p><font face="Arial,sans-serif">Note that some long lengths of 4WD
roads In South Australia are not council roads - so they have no
real government data.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial,sans-serif">And some of these roads are now
access=permit, say ~600 miles of them.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial,sans-serif">Government data for 4WD? That might
include the shorter length roads .. most of 'us' are not too
interested in those as they lead nowhere. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial,sans-serif">Possibly the government includes
'unpaved' as 4WD where most of us are comfortable in a
2WDvehicle ..with a little ground clearance on these roads.</font><font
