I know it's hilly but is the road width Ok for vans. Drove on some older 9 ft roads into hills recently so want to make sure the Lyell is OK. Any advice appreciated.

In the current RAC Horizons mag an article about this road suggest that it is " easier to drive than you may think" which differs from information I have been previously given from other sources which suggests among other things that its a great way to wreck your caravan. Could some of you m...

I know its not a good time of year to go down it, but I will be tempted to take the chance as I will be heading to Melbourne from Yulara early in the new year. Has anyone been along there recently?

Recently travelled from Gladstone to Kalpowar on the Boyne Valley Road. Did not actually go all the way to Monto but that is next "big town". The road was bitumen and fine to Many Peaks. Big change to when I was last there. This is an excellent drive to Many Peaks, but not suitable for caravans...

We're driving north from Sydney's eastern suburbs - which is the best way? Pacific highway at Artarmon, or lane cove tunnel/M2/pennant hills or M5/M7?

Major work on the Bruce continues - the road just out of Gympie is a bit torn up, and there are sections where traffic is slowed to 70km, with narrow lanes. This goes for about 5km south of Gympie, then again just north of the Kandanga/Imbil turnoff (Exit 244) about 20km south of Gympie to just north of Co...

Parachillna to Blinman SA. Only about 30 km, I'm wondering about the suitability of this road for travel in a motor home, i.e. creek crossings, corrugations etc. Our vehicle is a 4 ton Kea.

Change of scenery and a great road - go out to Cumborah and back. Sealed all the way and I think smoother than the main road! A bit further but a great free camp at Cumborah - leave the van and do the opal fields from there.

This road is great. Mostly flat, sealed all the way with lots of new seal. Very little traffic it seems. Shortcut to Nyngan instead of going via Bourke.

Dayboro then up Mount Mee yesterday. A steep winding slow road for about 6km out of Dayboro. Ok with the van - just dont try to hurry. Out into high lush farmland across the top then about 2.5 km of steep downhill before Woodford. Great drive but narrow. Would recommend south-north for the sake of your br...

Currently in Sapphire and would like to go via Rubyvale, Capella, Dysart, 'Cosmos' I think it is a property on the Fitzroy Dev. Road and then north to Mindi on the Peak Downs Highway and then into Mackay. I would like to know if all of the roads are sealed.
