Wife (boss of 46yrs) and I wish to travel up that way at above times, in our trusty Pajero towing trusty Scenic Vega tandem Cvan. Can members provide travelling advice i.e. weather, road surface, where does bitumen end, are we likely to encounter no crossable creeks and rivers. Many thanks people.

I noticed on to-nights news there was a fair said about caravan tuggers having a special licence. I am curious to know what other Grey Nomads feel about this subject. Also I have a heavy vehicle truck drivers licence, and am curious to know if the new rules come in will I be covered?
