Condition of unsealed road Injune to Taroom

That would be correct - our son works for Santos and told me about that a few days ago. There is a lot of gas development going on in that area and there could be a lot of heavy vehicles. Santos vehicles are restricted in their speeds, but contractors could be doing their usual thing in rented vehicles.

Wet season coming up (hopefully), so the road may or may not be open - depends when the OP is travelling. Best to check either end, but you already know that. Also, sometimes roads are officially "closed" when they are usable - officialdom is sometimes a bit behind reality. (But do not drive past a "Road Closed" sign - that is a no no.)

The road from Injune to Taroom was in pretty good condition when I was through there last year.

The section of Expedition which you go through is a newly created Resource and Conservation Park with no facilities. To get to the real National Park you will need to turn north a few miles past the Dawson River. This road will take you up through Glen Horton Stn to the turn off to Robertson Gorge. If you go a bit further you will see "Ruined Castle" on the RHS and a bit further is the old Ready Creek Stn which is supposed to have some aboriginal paints somewhere which we never found.

Past Ready Creek the road turns to a one lane black soil track which is impassable in wet weather.

Kev,

I am up that way this week for work so if I have time I might drive that way to check it out for you :)


Cheers Kev
