Think I can help you with this one Duncan W.
12 months ago,the bride and I, wandered down this "shortcut" in my BT50 4X4 and light camper trailer.(950kgs) from the Northern Highway end.
Easy driving until the road turns left towards the Cape Leveque Road - and then the fun starts.
Road is no wider than "mirror to mirror"
Sand was diabolical for about 10 kilometres in one stretch.
A trip that should have taken say 3 hours took about 7.
When the locals heard we had taken that road they thought we were mad !
Good luck if you tackle it!
Hope this helps

We did this track last July (2015), an 80 series and a 79 series, from Beagle Bay to the highway. I must say that we found the track quite good! Sure it was a little narrow in places but not enough to scratch our mirrors.
There had been and was some fires in the north west section, we stopped and talk to the local fire unit boys for a bit.
I can't remember any large areas of really soft sand. When we turned south to the highway the track did widen quite a bit and was graded.
It was a pleasant change from the traffic and corrugations of the usual route.
Cheers

Same as Tony you will have no problems,we were there 18 months ago.

Hi Dunc

We did this trip 78 series Troopy with Camper trailer, the track was a bit closed in but nothing that bad , only a few light scratches that polished out .
the track its self was all good all of the way , no trouble at all .
better than the Cape L road
