Camp conditions after rain


Would welcome comments regarding ground conditions in general locale central Queensland especially. Are they mudholes or easily negotiable without sinking in the ground. Same for grassy vanparks. ????

"Camp conditions after rain?"

Wet.

It's impossible to give a useful answer; some will be impassible others will be OK. I know plenty of places with camps within 1km of each other and some may be used after 10 0mm of rain whereas others will take weeks before they are usable.

It *really* pi$$es me off when idiots drive on wet tracks and damage or destroy them. Keep out of the bush or stay put until tracks dry out.

What would be most useful for me and others contemplating travel via
camps in western/central Qld is for someone who is out there now and
can give a report on the condition of the camps ie, muddy, slippery,
mushed up, or reasonable or fine etc.

Many times we pull into a camp in the dry there's awsome deep
tracks where there has been dramas by someone likely having
been caught overnight and have been up to their axles getting out.

I even suspect that some of the vanparks are quagmires where
the van and car have been on the bare or grassed earth?

I don't want that.

Who's out there in camps can give us an opinion?
