Never done this before and a mate has asked if I'd travel with them in the October school hols.... It's suggested that it can be done with a conventional vehicle and van. Comments please.... Is this a bit like the Chambers Pillar road where you just follow the crowd?

Another fatal accident this time out near Boggabri. This one involved a ute towing a caravan. Thankfully the two occupants are still alive. Please folks, take care. It's not always us in our vans, as in this case - the "other bloke" can be just as dangerous. Drive Safe and be careful. Ma
