You'll hear the same variations in road condition reports about
Cape York, the GRR etc etc. The "road" conditions can change very quickly, depending upon weather and traffic.
If it were me I'd ring the location twice, once
well in advance and ask if my vehicle and trailer was a sensible option for that area. I would then ring a few days before departure and ask about the road conditions. Then its up to you.
Have a great trip.

Hi I Want
If going in from the
Gregory R/
Gregory Downs to
Lawn Hill then the road in is generally good up until the
Mine turnoff and sometime after that.
The road in mid June last year was pretty good but bumpy in
places with some ruts and roughish getting closer to Adels/Lanw
Hill.
In 2002 it was worse as there was some bulldust in patches and rutted.
Best advice is above, road changes all the time, call the
Gregory R Roadhouse or call, write or email the Burke Shire for current info.
Info I got in Feb 2006 below:-
Council’s policy is to close camping on the river bed of the river at
Gregory R. This will be in place from April 2006.

Sounds like most poeple go from
Cloncurry up to 4ways tehn west across to
Lawn Hill. Two questions:
1. any particular reason for not going thru Mt Isa, along Barkly then turning North?
2. are there many refuelling opportunities between
Cloncurry and
Lawn Hill
a) if going via 4 ways?
b) after Mt Isa if going that way?
thanks for any assistance.
