Birdsville Track is quite rocky in places expect to slow down and Savannah Way between Roper Bar and Hells Gate has VERY BAD corrugations mainly toward the Western part. Cheers.

About a month ago I came through to Hell's gate from Roper Bar and we all thought the road was very good. Some creek crossings needed care. But I guess the road conditions can change quickly and road conditions are quite personal.

I was towing a 19ft van and thought it was very good especially if compared to some other roads I have been on such as Wolf Creek crater and Karijini NP about a year ago

Used the Birdsville Track a couple of weeks ago and for the most part it was better than most bitumen roads. A couple of gibber patches but nothing to give any concern

I travelled from Birdsville yesterday at 100kph all the way except for passing oncoming vehicles and grids. The track this week is excellent. This shows how quickly info on gravel roads becomes outdated.
