Challenging Road Conditions in Australia

Like you get in many Australian States minus the roads under constant repair. What you do not get in the US is the massive graded dirt graded roads that you find in Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland South Australia and the inaccessible parts of New South Wales

There are thousands of miles of unimproved dirt roads in the US, the major difference is that for the most part you don't travel on them to get between towns and cities. A notable exception is the Dalton Highway in Alaska which I hear is pretty nasty in places, but then again much of interior Alaska is not accessible by road at all.
