Shouldn't have any dramas with your vehicle on that road, GD. I only had a Holden ute when I moved down there, then bought a Datsun Skyline, with no dramas.
Been some good rain in that area recently, at least the
Hamilton was in flood, so the road may get chopped up a bit. Just be VERY wary of dried wheel tracks, if the grader hasn't been along there when you travel. The crossings over the river north of
Hamilton are all cement, and the crossings aren't deep. The crossing near Toolebuc is much deeper, and if the river was running, this might block you. The road from Toolebuc, east back to
Winton-
Boulia bitumen, is a great drive, many gates and up over Toolebuc Gap, at the southern end of the Finucane Range.
Spent 3 years at Toolebuc, not really far from anywhere, but the most remote place I've ever worked on. In early 79, it rained a lot and we had 6 weeks with no mail, no human contact except for a daily phone call from our neighbour at Cannington Station, and the lovely post mistress in
McKinlay. The old earth return phone lines didn't like working in wet conditions.........even a damp spider web was enough to earth it out!
Different place now with Rural Power, phone, Internet etc, etc.
