Road conditions west of Neale junction on Ann beadell

It has been a while (2006), but I don't think you will have any dramas except for a couple of scratchy spots.

All those pics are going west from Neale Junction.

I went through last year towing a Tvan & got no damage.
I was really pleased that I didn t take the Quantum because I met people with one & both sides of it were trashed, in fact he said he would have to respray it when he got home.
We did chop out the lower shock absorber bushes on the Tvan, which I believe isn't unusual, so it may pay to carry spares, I had to make do with crushed up heater hose.

Tricia, it's 2 years since we last did this and we were towing a crossover - no problems with the tracks. Certainly somewhat overgrown, but no dramas. Two crossovers and one Ultimate completed that trip. It's a beautiful trip. Keep your UHF radio on scan and use a sand flag, not compulsory but good protection.

Hi
We went from Laverton to Coober Pedy in August last year towing a camper trailer, the road on the Western side of the border all the way to Laverton was in excellent condition, West of Neil Junction it is well maintained due to the exploration going on out there. Just keep an eye on the weather.

I don't know how big a crossover is, but I guess you can judge from the size of tvans and ultimates . It does depend on how you like to keep your van in the way of scratches too. It would be inevitable to get some light scratches, but nothing a polish couldn't get out. Three years ago we followed some sort of truck sized thing and a bushtracker ! ( gulp ! ) . The caravan would have been smashed ! In the end they must have turned off judging by the lack of entries in visitors books about half way along. In a few places it would be impossible for a full sized van due to track hugging trees. We had no problems , following arm thick tree limbs broken by those before us !
If I had a ultimate trailer ( I wish ! ) I wouldn't hesitate to take it.

Tricia Just checked Laverton shire they have opened the road again this morning sorry about that David
