I travelled with a group DOWN Googs in 2001 - there are two or three sandhills at the top that are quite sharp and difficult. I towed a HD off road camper trailer with my 99 diesel jackaroo - needed a bit of practice and a couple of runs, but then ok. Below this top bit, the track is hilly but ok. We were glad that we went DOWN because people trying to go UP had cut holes in the south faces of the hills (probably due to poor tyre pratice in sand). Going up, with a trailer, through those deep holes would have been a real barrier to me I think - broken
suspension may have been the result - we had to take it easy coming down over these holes. Suggest you talk to the parks people at
Ceduna, prior to going.
