I am looking at travelling from
Timber Creek through to the Stuart Hwy via Top Springs in September. I am towing a 17 ft off road van behind a
Ranger twin cab. All should still be in good nick by then. I am not expecting to find the condition of the road just an idea what to expect terrain and traffic wise would be good. I can see there is a crossing of the
Victoria River so at least one
river crossing. Any clues would be helpful.

Did it in 1973 in a Holden ute, Allan, so the
Ranger & van will be okay. Good scenery through Jaspers
Gorge, then downs country past VRD & Top Springs, before getting into lancewood scrub down the Buchanan. Doubt if that route would be too busy, unless you struck lots of nomads, or half a dozen road trains?

Went through in 2018 with a back folder camper behind 3.2l
Ranger. Road was rough in
places but slow with tyre pressures down no issues other than local station vehicles not caring much about their speed when passing
Sandy Creek NT
Camped at Charlies Crossing and east of VRD at Sandy’s Creek. Definitely would not
camp at Top Springs. Really enjoyed the
Timber Creek to Top Springs section more-so than out to the Stuart
