Just tired
I am think of taking this route in the next couple of weeks. Could anybody let me know of the condition of the road and approx how long it would take.
Cheers
Tom

It's a good dirt formed road about 560klms, and that's the distance between fuel too. When you get to
Chillagoe, visit Tom Prior at the
BP bulk fuel depot just on the edge of town, he is a living legend with his car and truck museum.

Wanted to do that trip before my legs gave out. What bothered me was the river crossings about 190 km from
Karumba as I was going to come from the Chillago end & only had a soft roader. Couldn't carry enough fuel if I had to return to Chillago Now on the "wish I had of" list. Bill
