Just completed Cobb from Hay to Wilcannia and Silver City to Warri Gate. Both now sealed all the way and the entire routes-except for a few soft spots South of Ivanhoe, in excellent shape. There is one grid about 8km from Tibooburra which is quite dangerous with a 'speed hump' on either side: dead slow r...

For those who have the misfortune to travel the Bruce Hwy, some good news as the Gympie By Pass - Gympie to Currra has opened, which means no traffic jams in Gympie and a 4 lane Hwy Curra to Brissie, only 1,500more Kms to do for a decent road to Cairns, should only take another 40 years.

Has anyone travelled the Old Eyre Highway between the Nullarbor Roadhouse and the SA/WA Border Roadhouse? If so how was the condition of the road?

Can anyone tell me what this road is like. It goes from Bowen through Collinsville to Belyando Crossing. The Camps 7 book shows the last bit, over 50 ks is not sealed. But books can be wrong sometimes. Has anyone travelled it lately.

Recently on my trip up to Townsville from NSW (September 2024) I drove the Bowen Developmental Road (Hwy 77) from the Gregory Developmental Road near Belyando Road House (West to East) to Bowen. I've read on this forum that the first 53 Km to Mount Coolon (an old Gold Mining town), was in a bad conditio...

Hi traveler's. Ive been warned off the murrumbateman Rd to bungendore pulling a 196 viscount. (Witha ranger) From looking at hema maps and Google etc I cant see why. Has anyone traveled this with a van? Would be a heck of a lot easier/quicker than going through Canberra. Cheers TIA

Hi all. Seeking information on the condition of Cooma Road from Cooma to Braidwood. I believe some part of it is unsealed? Is it narrow with lots of curves; hilly/steep ascents and descent etc? Flood damaged etc. Any information re this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hello. Just wondering if the C612 (Bonang Road) is suitable for towing caravans. My partner is experienced with mountain towing (Brown, Talbingo, Hotham, Sue City), but this sounds like it might be longer, steeper, windier? Narrow roads with logging trucks and no guardrails freaks me out a bit. Th...

Thinking of coming home from Broken Hill by what Google Maps shows as the most direct route - through Menindee, Ivanhoe (probably overnight), through to Hillston and Griffith. Can anyone please tell me what the roads are like? We will be in a Toyota Kluger AWD, not a 4WD. Ralph

Currently in Monto and was going to head east via Kalpowar and back towards Gin Gin however the road signs say unsuitable for caravans. Locals I have spoken to say it shouldnt be a problem. Has anyone driven it or got any updates?
