Which border track!?

Perhaps the Vic/SA one.

It is a while since I've done it but it is most certainly a 4WD track only *no caravans* and I would not take a trailer of any kind.

Remember parts of it (all of it?) are one way only - north to south iirc but check.

It's mainly sand so drains quickly but I would not choose to do it currently after so much rain.

It is serious country out there - take full recovery gear and an EPIRB and people who know what they are doing.

 It should, but as you cannot even indicate accurately which track you mean I have my doubts.
