Towing on the Munja track?

Hi, you haven't said whet you intend to tow. We towed an Aussie Swag camper out there a few years ago, the track changes from year to year a bit each time to avoid Black soil bog holes, so can be a bit of a slalom course. The track is cut each year by a man with a tractor and slasher, quite a feat. One of the three jump-ups is testing when you come back out, some of the creek crossings have sharp turn ins and are very steep. I would suggest that if what you have is tandem axle not to take it. Call the Laceys at Mount Elizabeth or Rick at http://www.bushtracksafaris.com.au/ for updated info. There is a cost involved to drive out there, but the rewards are spectacular in many ways.

Forget your trailer...................you are going cause enough damage to your vehicle as it is. You will damage the underside of your vehicle and cut up your tyres (and loose lugs off mud terrains) on the rocky jump ups. There are 5 series of jump ups (each consisting of rocky sections for a couple of Km's ). You need to get out and move the big rocks to ensure you have a safe route up & down - This would be a terrible situation if you meet another vehicle comming the other way - nightmare stuff if someone is towing! In many parts, you just can't get out of the way of another vehicle. These rocky jump ups are 1st gear low range stuff. If you damage your trailer and have to leave it, it will stay there forever - you will see other abandoned vehicles along the track.

Hi Anne,
Could you please enlighten me as to where the Munja track runs.
I think it's in north east WA but not sure.
Thanks

We drove the Munja Track in the OKA in 2005.
I was glad we were not towing, but there were camper trailers at Walcott. Anything wider than a camper trailer would be problematic.
At the time I described it as a "100km per day" road although others were going faster and it does vary lots.

There is a lot to see along the way. Many things you will find yourself if you are observant, but some local knowledge will help a lot.

It is a great piece of country and a great drive.

Cheers,
Peter
