There was a thread on this subject on 12 January this year. See that - it should answer most of your queries. It is a very slow, winding road, but there are no steep hills. It is gravel for about 30 km from memory. Depending on recent rains, it may be corrugated a bit near
Bonang, buy nothing that I would worry about. Anyway, you are going South, so it is all downhill....

I've towed along that road going north, had no problems at all. Bit of care needed on some corners but what I would call a good dirt road, not as narrow as many I have towed on.

As the others have stated its fairly twisty. Be careful on the blind corners and keep left. Log trucks use the road so use you cb.

Ian I have travelled 'The
Bonang' on a motorcycle numerous times on and the FJ Cruiser.
The narrow winding road is in itself not a problem taking it very steady but I would
check if the logging trucks are active. Some know only one speed and there is barely room for a Bike to pass let alone a 4WD and trailer.
Personally I wouldn't take the Trucks on.
Cheers
dad
