Dooley Downs / Pingandy road

Hello there DiverDoug, Jan and I travelled this route, only the other way around, in late June this year. We had a camper trailer in tow and a tinnie on top.. Apart from being extremely dusty, the road was very good. The only bit of road that I would consider doubtful for a caravan is the bit between the Nanutara-Wittenoom Road and Tom Price. The sign said "impassable to cars and utes" but we could not see why, apart from some rough (dry) creek crossings of which there were only about two or three. Just some care needed I think, they are more a large rut than a deep creek crossing and you should be able to articulate your way across without drama. We camped overnight about a hundred meters off the road on Ashburton Downs. Kept away from creek beds because there seemed to be a lot of cattle congragating near water holes. We noted a number of other possibilities along the way, I might even had GPS co-ords if you are interested. Passed only two or three other vehicles, about half a dozen or so by the time we got to Carnarvon. Its probably busier now because of the wildflower season. Even though it has only been about six or seven weeks since we travelled that way, I believe there has been considerable rain in the region since. There was not however very much evidence, none that I can remember, of prior major washouts - not like the GRR and Cape Leveque Road. Hope this is helpful. email me if you want those GPS Co-ords. michael@mateljan.com.
Happy camping,
Mike and Jan.
