I am planning a trip to the centre in the next 3-4 weeks, with a '98 Jackaroo diesel and towing an off road capable camper trailer which has high clearance and Alko
suspension. I want to travel on the following tracks, and would like to know if anyone has current information on them, or if towing the camper might be a problem:
Mt. Dare - Finke - Maryvale -
Chambers Pillar - Ewaninga -
Alice Springs.
Ross River - N'Dhala
Gorge -
Todd River Downs - OLd
Andado - Finke.
Any information would be appreciated, also any advice on things to see or do in those areas.
Thanks, Michael

Hi, Michael. We have just returned from the centre. We went to Alice via the plenty Hwy and the East Macdonnelss 4x4 route. The plenty was okay. We camped at
chambers pillar. Other caper trailers had no trouble. Maryvale to
Chambers pillar is very corrugated but I think it would be graded now as
the desert race was conducted there last week-end. Mt. Dare through Old
Andado is okay. It is very slow. You will need a good map for that area. with the
bore points etc. We came
home to Qld via the
Simpson desert, definetely not a place to tow a trailer. Happy
trails. Lis
