Gulf Trek

You have Gumhole to Lawn Hill or go through to just past Tirranna RH and down the Wills DR to Gregory Downs, pretty much the only options.
Safe travels

Have done the Gumhole to Lawn Hill twice, but, not recently.
First South to north in 2006 enroute to Cape York, memories are of a very nice road and scenery.
Done again in mid 2015 north to south, again road conditions good. Camped on a creek crossing which still had water for a couple of nights and only had two or three cars go through. Peaceful. If you travel this route look out for a white painted cross on top of a hill to the the west of the track - memorial to a local pastoralist/stockman - very steep climb up to it, but, magnificent view of surrounding area. Nice stop under the trees at theLawn Hill Creek Crossing for a cuppa.
I haven’t done the other route suggested but would recommend this route as a nice trip.
Remember the fire at Adele’s Grove may have altered things there and sites at Lawn Hill must be prebooked by phone or online.
I am jealous and wish it was me travelling back in that country not wintering in cold Ballarat
