We plan to do the Yunta to Balcanoona road via Frome Downs in April 09. Are there any reports of its condition?

PB,

it's a good road that you can accomplish in a fully loaded Magna station wagon with three strapping lads on board (UNLESS.....it's been raining!). It is regularly maintained and should present no problems for you at all.

Cheers Mick.

Yes it is a good gravel road, HOWEVER, don't be lulled into a false sense and drive to fast otherwise you will get caught-out in loose gravel on sweeping bends.

The South Australian roads website is a good place to check on road conditions. It's generallly up to date:
