I have just joined ExplorOz and looking for any information on a trip we have planned. We leave on June 24th, 2017, (in 5 weeks’ time).
There are two Landcruisers with off road camper trailers doing the following trip.
I will list the legs that we have planned and would appreciate any information on road conditions, travel times for each leg, places of interest and camp grounds along the way that you could recommend.
We have Googled a lot of the info but would like to hear from experienced travellers who have been on these roads recently. Google maps gives you drive times but sometimes I think they are slightly exaggerated. Just my opinion. We are more than happy to go the road less travelled. We have been travelling for most of our lives including 4WDing but it has been 20 years since I was last up in the Gulf area so I am sure a lot has changed.

1. Gold Coast to Carnarvon Gorge. This is pretty straight forward
2. Carnarvon Gorge to Barcaldine.
3. Barcaldine to Hughenden via Aramac and Torrens Creek.
4. Porcupine Gorge to Undara via the Kennedy Development Road.
5. Undara to Karumba.
6. Karumba to Lawn Hill via Leichardt Falls to Nardoo and Gregory along Burketown Rd
7. Lawn Hill to Cloncurry
8. Cloncurry to Longreach or Windorah
9. Longreach or Windorah to Charleville
10. Charleville to Gold Coast.
Thanks in advance for your help and info.
