Comment: Normanton to Coen via Kowanyama

Best bet is ring the kowanyama police staion and ask and/or the normanton police staion. They will tell you. Kowanyama had record amounts of rain this year so seek local advice.

Hi Hugh, did the Dixie Track across to Karumba last year (September) from Musgrave Station with a camper trailer. Got through without issue but the countryside was very dry. Coming from Musgrave Station the Dixie track is well maintained but once you get past the Station it is not as well maintained. Encountered stretches of bull dust and there were obvious signs that the track in the wet would be impassable. Lots of dry creek crossings as well. The crossing at the Mitchell River is a feature of the track as you approach Dunbar. When we crossed the water was only 300-400mm deep over the causeway and some of the protection had subsided. Here's a picture of the causeway...
You might want to check the condition of the Mitchell River crossing before heading out that way; if closed you'll probably have to go the long way around.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
