Xmas In Alice

The road is good but can be very corrugated in spots, asking now for 5 months time is like choosing the Xlotto numbers.

Whether you get damage from driving this road depends on your caravans build quality.

Thanks for comment, i know the conditions will change, but with it being an alteranitve route to Alice do they maintain the road at all, sound like i might have to go the long way round.

If there around new year it will be Blxxdy Hot, not a place or a time you need to experience trouble. Think much lower speeds and lower tyre pressures too, travel dependent on the type of van it is.

The condition of the road is just one factor.

I passed through the Alice at Christmas time a few years ago and the temp was in the mid 40's. Not the sort of temp to go sight seeing.

Hi Damo and Trace

The Mereenie Loop is notorious and even after grading it is still not good. Unless you have a dedicated off roader (rough roader) caravan, don't risk it. Also bear in mind that the walks at places like Kings Canyon, Uluru and and Kata Yjuta close when the temperature reaches a certain level.
