Hi All
Just after some info for an older couple as to the current condition of the Roper Hwy. They are towing an off road van. Also not sure on current depths of river crossings.
Mataranka down to
Borroloola.
Also any good spots to
camp with a van on the way down
Cheers
Lyndon

ExplorOz Member PMK3 is there now. Maybe he can comment. We’ll be there in about a week too. NT Road reports page should confirm if theres anything to be concerned about.

Thanks guys.
NT road reports can be a bit vague at times.
I've driven the road a few times myself. At least I can tell them the crossings are rocky not quicksand, but as for current depths etc....
They are in
Darwin ATM and as it could be 2 weeks before they head down there, so any current reports during your travels would be appreciated. I'd hate to give them a bum steer.
We always
bush camp, but I see there are some paid sites listed along the way now, unfortunately, no member feed back on the App as yet. I'm thinking, Mountain
Creek and DiDI Baba
camp and Yurrimunji
camp. Any feedback on these would be great.
Thanks
Lyndon
