Just after some info we are planning a trip to the cape this Jun. I am taking a fairly stock standard 120 series prado, I have bullbar,
snorkel,UHF & spotties.We are planning to travel from Melb to Pt
Augusta, up to
Birdsville, then eventually to
Karumba, then across & up to the "tip". Just wondering if anyone has done this trip recently in a fairly stock vehicle. One thing I am adding before the trip is a set of cooper ST's. any advice would be welcome :)

We did it 18 months ago in a fairly stock landscruiser, saw lots of stock prados up there.
Which way are you going from
Normanton to the Peninsular development road.
We went across the
Bourke dev rd to Gamboola and then north cause we couldn't find out current conditions on the track from Dunbar but if it has been pretty wet I would say that track is pretty doddgy.
The track from Gamboola would be OK if you can get accross the
Mitchell there although it degenerates to a two wheel track around
Pinnacles Station.
A lot depends on how late the wet season lasts.
