Good Morning all travellers,
I am Interested in your comments from people that have travelled the
Holland track, whether or not it would be advisable to take a caravan down this track. A couple of people that I have spoken to reckon they have taken their trailers up the track and cant see why you couldn't take a van.
I have never done this trip so I am interested in what your learned opinions are.
thank you for sharing,

There are sections that are very narrow with harsh foliage. EG fold in the mirrors on a 79 series landcruiser which is a narrow vehicle alone and foliage still obstructs.
I have towed an ultimate camper through stands of salmon gums (the ones with the shiney red bark) the track winds through these stands and your length may bring you undone.

I agree with Pinko. I think you would wreck a caravan on the
Holland track. We took our camper trailer along it a few years ago and had to be careful on a couple of the sharper bends. The Holland way however is a different story. Its been designed with caravans in mind.

Hi
Haven't done the
Holland Track, we came down the Holland Way from
Coolgardie.
I have heard of people that have taken small vans down the track and ripped off awnings and done other superficial damage.
No doubt someone will have further information.
Regards
Rowdy

Broodie, I thoroughly recommend this publication
Holland Track and Cave Hill Woodlines. We used it as a guide for our tour around the
Holland Track, Holland Way, and the interesting history of the Woodlines.
My
Blogs from 2007 cover this tour (without caravan). We did not complete the
Holland Track due to concerns about the size of our F250.
