Anne Beadell Highway

Hi Anne

This months 4x4 Australia has an article on the Anne Beadell hwy which is quite interesting. The section from Neale Junction west to Laverton (which I did last year) would be easy for a camper trailer. A bit of sand and corrugations otherwise an easy section. I cannot comment on the section east from Neale Junction however. The hut at Yeo homestead is worth a stop for lunch or overnight.

I've towed my Cub supamatic east to west behind a diesel troopy, then headed north up the Connie Sue before looping back around the abandoned section of the Gunbarrel, GCR, then the rock.
We actually had 5 campers on the trip, bent/broke two axles, one leaf spring and a set of wheel bearings between the five, mine had no problems at all.
The same camper has been across the Gunbarrel twice to Carnegie without any problems.
The trick is to keep the trailer as light as possible, put water and any extra fuel in the truck, we only had clothes, bedding and a little bit of food in the camper everything else in the truck.

Main problem is the corrugations, particularly between Emu and Mabel Creek. I'd keep the tyre pressures down to soften it all out and make it easier on the suspension/axles etc.

Anne,
Mabel Creek to Vokes Hill corner with trailer no problemo. Go slow, deflate tyres, enjoy.Bob

Anne,

There is an article on the Beadell Highways in the latest issue of "australian Geographic Magazine" #73 which would be of interest to you.
