Rudall River NP

Hi Melissa, did a trip into Rudall River NP back in July01 coming into the park from the Telfer end down via Christmas Pool following the northern access track to the Desert Queen Baths & exiting via the southern track to the Tallawana Track to Balfor Downs & onto Newman. The weather was wet coming in making the track a little muddy but easily drivable. It was dry coming out with good camping spots at the Rudall River crossing & at a bore sunk about 20km north of the Tallawana track turn off. Did this part of a trip back from Cape Leveque comfortably in a week staying at the Desert Queen Baths campsite for a couple of days. The access track into the baths from the main track into the park is very rough in places with a lot of dips & curves, rocky in places & needs a lot of care in traversing but if you take it easy there should not be any problems with a trailer in tow. I have some pics of the area on my webpage at:

Drove through north to south May 2003 it was very dry. Did side trip to Chrismas Pool very low level with large snake near water level. The south end of the park was burnt out. Drove through in a day without problems.

Hi Melissa , I was there a couple of years back and have loaded all my trip files onto the plot file list ,I towed my camper trailor with a V6 4 runner all the way with no problems , the only area I found really tight was into upper carawine gorge ,the trip into Dessert queen baths was slow but no trouble and well worth it , we are heading back up there (Y0rk 4x4) end of July .

Hi Melissa ,
I was there in July 04 . That trip I was not towing my camper , but I saw no problems that will worry you except as Peter said , Upper Carawine Gorge was tough and I think the huge gravel areas around Carawine Gorge would bog you with a trailer .
Cheers ,
Willie
