We are thinking of heading to Mt Augustus from Perth in July or August. I will be towing a 22' 2700kg gross onroad van with the new v6 Ford Ranger.
Just wondering if any one has done the trip and if they have any tips.
Thanks all.
Cheers

Unless there has been a recent rain event, we have found the gravel roads in the area to be consistently excellent. After one rain event we got pics like these......
Nice photos Peter, l'm heading there next winter if all goes to plan.

If you go to Mt Augustus, you should also go to the Kennedy range, a couple of hundred km to the west. Lots to explore and if you want a treat there is a track up the western side that goes up to the top and down the other side. Not too difficult, but leave the caravan behind. We spent a night on top. Great views.

Unfortunately the trip has been cancelled due to time restraints.
But thank you for taking the time to respond.
