hi guys
i've seen some recent press about opening of the
savannah way. we are 2 weeks off going from
brisbane to
cairns to
darwin in a falcon towing a camper trailer. does anybody know if it's sealed from
cairns to
normanton and then to mt isa?
i'm happy to go back to townsville after
cairns and do it the usual way but i'd love to explore the new route if it's a comfortable trip in a 2 wheel drive. we don't want to rough it too much on corrugations if we can help it.
does anybody know what the latest is with this route?
cheers
unit

Check Sat Courier Mail. Page 16. Might be worth looking at the RACQ site or calling them.

thanks guys
i did read the article in the paper but it spoke in very broad terms and gave no website reference.
i was under the impression that
cairns to
normanton and then isa was a bit rough in a standard 2WD and that we would have to back track.
looks like we'll be going the top way and maybe checking out
karumba too.
i can hardly wait. we leave in exactly 1 week and will gone for 8-10 weeks. this last week at work will be one of the slowest ever.
thanks for the advice.
unit.
