4wd tyres

Jacqui,

Can't speak about Bungles , but the roads into Lawn Hill NP are as rough as guts. However, we did see a 2wd van in there; they'd blown a couple of tyres and had been travelling at or below 30k/h the whole way.

So to answer your question, those sorts of trips are *possible* in a 2wd or soft-roader, but you would have to take it very easy indeed. My suggestion would be to have a *proper* 4wd with good off-road tyres (eg : A/T or M/T type)......you do not want highway tyres on those sorts of roads.

In any case, pressures are a crucial part of the equation; you need to drop the pressures so the tyres are less likely to be punctured.

Hi Jacqui,

Yes - you certainly do need a 4WD to go into the Bungles & it would be adviseable to have at least AT tyres. From the Highway to the Rangers is approx 50km & can take 3 hours. It is fairly rough and lots of crossings.

It is some time since I went to Lawn Hill but when there went with a Commodore towing a 17ft pop top. No problems at all. The road of course would vary depending on the season but the majority is maintained for mining.

went to the B B about 2 years ago wasnt to bad but definitly rough and slow but a soft roader should be ok 2wd are not allowed in and arnt issued tickets which tells me it is doable in a 2wd but not permitted. The track to the southern end of th BB within the park is even rougher
