The Gunbarrel Hwy goes to Wiluna. Not Kalg.
What you are thinking of is 'The Great Central Road'. 2 years ago when I last used it it was is poor condition .. long sandy stretches, lots of corrugations. 15 years ago coaches were using it .. Make a booking with the Giles Metrology section to do a tour!
Yes you do a section of the original Gunbarrel (or at least you used to) on 'The Great Central Road' of about 26 km. There is talk of making 'The Great Central Road' all tar .. and extending that tar all the way to Mt Isa. Do it while it is still dirt. There is a fair amount of traffic out that way .. at least one vehicle per day on average. So if you do have trouble then sit and wait. Take it easy, if you do hurt yourself you could be in pain for some time before help arrives.
