Mount Moffatt Carnarvon National Park

Kev,

We were up there for a few days in late July.
Came in from Mitchell, went out by Injune.
For a summary look at the national parks web site.
So,

Access is bitumen to the Mitchel/Injune rd. intersection.There after it is good dirt.
We went in just after all that rain in late july and there is a few small sections of black soil, but it is classed as 2wd access which is about right.
Can sit on 90/100 most of the way in. Last 50 to 80 k, maybe 60 to 80km/hr.
Pick up fire wood in the last 15k before the national park.The main loop in the park is 2wd, while the road further north up the range is steep in places and a little stony, and there are some sandy parches, so about 2 to 3 out of 5 for 4wd, depending how wet it is. Some sections of black soil on top of the ridges.
About 3 hours from Mitchell, and 2.5 hours from Injune, rough guess from memory.

Camping.
Dargonally (?spelling) and west branch are the two main camp sites. Single pit toilet, but good flat camping spots with some trees. Prefer west branch to dargonally, little more interesting sitting between the hills, while dargonally is a more open on the flats.
Both make a good base to look around.
There is also a camp site up on the ranges - can't remember the name. But it is at about 920m elevation and good views, but limited sites and not that many flat ones. Has a pit toilet. You need to back track for about 45mins to get back to the rest of the park. west branch is about 830m elevation.
Can be cool at night. We were there for the coldest night in Qld this year, about 6 in brisbane and we had -5.
Not alot of walking trails, but plenty to see. Can do most of it in 3 easy days.

limited drinking water available with just a small quantity or tank water, so take your own. Not much washing water either. Might be some water in dargonally rock hole.

Did about 90k in the national park. Used about 80 litres of diesel in the 2.8l pajero.

Any other questions, let me know.
You should be able to get the rangers phone number of the nat parks web site. Found them very helpful.

Yes, the 80l from Mitchell to Injune.

2.8l tD with only a roof rack.

Friends had 90 litre tanks so took extra fuel (1 jerry can each), and if they had been touring around each day may have needed the jerry can.
We used the pajero each day but then I have a 135l tank.
Fuel is definitely cheaper in Roma than Mitchell or Injune.
Shell on the main street (not the main bypass) was best at the time.

Went in from Mitchell and out to Injune to see what the roads are like, but not really worth it via Mitchell, just as good from Injune.
Coming in from Injune the main road is via Woomblebank. Bitumen ends just north of Woomblebank, about 15k.

Have a good trip. We most probably will go back again.

When we were there, ther was 3 other families in the national park. Two of us camping in the same camping area. A lot of people seem to just stay a day and some just come in on a day visit from Injune.

Also, well worthwhile going to the little visitors building on the opposite side of the road from the rangers station. Self service, sign the visitors book, and some good general info. Also a little history of the area.
Also found a little bat sleeping under one of the wall brochures. Pleanty of roos, surprised not many emus, may be too hilly for them.
