Has anyone been on there lately? If so what was the condition of the road & how much Bitchumen is on it now?
Thanks Cookie

Hi Cookie
We drove from Dunmara to Top Springs back 24/5/13. It was pretty dusty, corrugated but actually not too bad. We pulled a
Kimberley Kamper behind our HiLux and both handled the road really
well. Drive to the conditions. The worst and roughest part was through
Jasper Gorge, just raw
rock.

Towed a van from Dunmarra to Toppy. Good drive, bits of bulldust forming with some corrugations.
Jasper Gorge is usually bad. Just back off and take your time. Bugga all bitumen.
Cheers
Greg
