Mt Augustus to Meekatharra

You will have no problem with an OFF ROAD van. I have done this many times with a semi off road caravan 22'. Depending on time of year, the tracks could be closed after rain.

Roads to Mt Augustus are pretty good gravel outback roads so you should not have any problems.

only issue is if it rains then the roads may be closed for a period.

sounds like a good trip. The gascoyne region is great country.

Al-one - Mate and I did Meekatharra - Peak Hill - Mt Augustus - Landor - Dairy Creek - Carnarvon in July 1969 - in a 2WD, HK Holden ute, loaded to the gunwhales with 800kgs of fuel, water, camping equipment, spares, and tools - and we didn't even come across anything worse than a country gravel road!

That's lovely country, and unfortunately, I've never done that route since - but we're looking at a 50th anniversary run in 2019 - if we still have all our marbles, and they haven't taken our licences off us! LOL

Was in that area a fortnight ago with Australasia Safari and the roads were fantastic.
Mind you we didn't venture any further east than the Waldburg Rd.

Great country enjoy the drive and the scenery.

roads in that area are usually fantastic as good or better than bitumen

Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated.

Drove the Road from Meekatharra to Mt Augustus last month and it was in great condition. (If you are thinking of climbing Mt Augustus start early in the day - it gets warm!).

These aren't minor station roads, they are properly formed connecting roads for the region. Dairy Creek is smaller than the Meekatharra to Mt Augustus road, but they are not two wheel tracks. Even if they were station tracks, I'd expect your vehicle to be able to easily manage them. Station tracks are often pleasant travelling, tho a bit slow at times.

If you poke around the area with Google maps, you'll find some of the roads have been photographed with Street View - no need to travel there at all. :-)

If you're after a quiet place to stay, try Jim who is at Cobra Station and the historic Bangemall Inn which you will pass on the Dairy Creek road on the way to Mt Augustus. Nothing luxurious there, or at Mt Augustus, but a decent chap.
