The trip is always worth it. I dropped my tyres to 25psi and drove between 65 - 75kmh any faster and you just stop more often
First are you towing a camper?
If you are I would suggest that you do not try the CREB.
The CREB is worth doing more because it's an Iconic track. It has steep climbs and descents, the challenge is when wet, or towing. It is suggested that no trailers are taken on the CREB, but some people do it, the main problem is the "A" frame (especially the longer "A" frame of campers) gets caught on many of the bumps and rises. Trailers become anchors and should you need to back down ....
well.
Do the OTT most of it is ok, I would double
check Nolans even if shallow, the sandy bottom does shift.
Frenchmans is ok this time of year, just watch the mud holes between the river and the development road, most are bypassed. The drop into and climb out of the Wenlock needs caution.
It's out of your way going north, but may be worthwhile travelling south.
It you have time the Old Coach Road,
Maytown to
Laura is worthwhile. I normally go north, Development Road Turn west at Maitland Downs. Then
Maytown has heaps of history, the town is
well marked out with stores and owners, there are mines and a grave yard. It will be dry out that way. A good days drive to
Laura, I would
camp at the back of the Quinsn (
Laura) Pub. Good meals.
Take your time and enjoy the serenity :) too many people travel way too fast up here.
