If you do have to make a turn, do it by twisting the wheel quickly round in the direction you want to go and then quickly back to the original position. On dirt roads, do not try to avoid every hole you see, just drive carefully at a constantly safe speed. Do the same when the surface is badly corrugated. To make a creek crossing, check the underlying surface to make sure there is no danger of getting bogged, check the depth and flow of water. When crossing, drive slowly in the centre where the undersurface is likely to be solid and keep the wheels straight in case there is mud or sand.
Care is needed when overtaking in the outback, beware of soft and loose verges.
The massive road trains carrying stock generate dangerous dust clouds that make it impossible to see. Try to resist the temptation to overtake these vehicles and when they are approaching, pull into the side of the road until the train has passed. In an emergency, the car floor mats can be used to give support and traction, and hub caps can be used as jack supports. Lowering tyre pressure will also assist. The filler cap should be left off to decrease presssure.
