Everything I've Googled says "Nice views" only I'd rather know about the drive conditions - the climb up (or down). We are in Coffs no...

The Strzelecki, Birdsville and Oodnadatta Tracks and most gravel roads in the flinders are all closed due to rain. http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/OutbackRoads In a couple of weeks, the desert will bloom and it will be a great time to be out there. Cheers, Peter

Hi Gromads Has anyone been over the Gunlom road in Kakadu national park recently? I don't mind a bit of dirt but the last time I did this road was in a hired 4wd twenty years ago. I am now towing a on road Coromal pop top with a Hyundai Santa Fe. Can I nurse it over that bit of dirt to the glories beyond?

Has anyone recently being down this road. I am trying to get an update as I am getting conflicting advice. One person at on do centre says ok then another person with a four wheel drive told me the first 3 to 5 kms was good then it became deep corrigations.
