Can anyone recommend a good towing route (with a 24' van) travelling Melbourne to Batemans Bay (departing Aug 2014)? Some folks have suggested Yass, Bungendore, Braidwood although I hear that Kings Hwy is undergoing significant road works. With a long and heavy load, (where possible) we are loo...

Hi, We will be travelling to the Flinders Ranges in mid-September and I am keen to tackle some of the 4WD self drive tours. We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on trips to undertake. We will be possibly staying at Hawker and Rawnsley Park. Regards, David

Had trouble finding anything up to date on the section on road but went ahead and did the run from Goondiwindi to Tenterfield and then on to Lismore. We tackled it in an NT pajero diesel towing a 21ft van about 2300kg loaded. The section through to Tenterfield was narrow and not without badly damaged sec...

Can anyone tell me what the road is like between Thallon and Dirranbandi? Heading that way in about a week. Not sure if it is dirt or bitumen now.

Can anyone provide some recent info on the road conditions between Nockatunga and Tibooburra? Would I be able to tow an On Road Caravan with care? Thinking of travelling this way to South Australia via Broken Hill, next month.

Will be heading this way in 4 weeks and just wondering if anyone has driven on it recently and can update me on the condition as it is meant to be a major off-road. Will be towing a small off road caravan but if its going to be too rough may just continue on the Great Northern Hwy.

Query on the road conditions in the next few days from Coonabarabran to Pilliga and then onto Burren Junction and then onto Collarenebri and Mungindi. Is Pilliga and Burren Junction definitely pet friendly? Are their fees? thanks cobberandco

We originally planned to travel this road as we heard a rumour that it had been sealed. It isn't sealed, it is corrugated, rough and dusty. We regret towing our van over it, now busy cleaning dust out of everywhere!

A disgrace to Queensland. Very rough and considering the number of trucks using it I would expect it to be better looked after

Travelled the Kidman way from Goolgowi to Bourke. A great road, good surface. My only gripe is the lack of rest areas along the way.

Umpie1 · Umpie1

Yes, sealed but extremely rough
