Gulf road conditions

not recently but i have driven along the eastern half of the road btween edwrd riv and musgrave a few times and can nev remember it being bad......go the mighty musgrave hotel for steakburgers!

Drove through there on 20/7/06 about 5 days after some fairly heavy rain, road was OK just a lot of wet patches that had us driving from side to side to miss them.
Road crews where about 10km's out of Pormpuraaw so could be a fair way out of town by now. No trouble at all.
How ever if you decide to come out via Alice Mitchell Nat Park be aware that Kowanyang has a zero grog thingame going. We where camped beside the Mitchell river when two vehicles with local representatives came through, stopped & read us the riot act like a lot of errant teenagers, Makes us wonder if we where in Australia or some other foreign country. Funny thing was a local passed us at about 3:00 pm & said he had travelled backwards & forwards 3-4 times between Pormpuraaw & Kowanyang. Guess who drove back over the river at 12:30am, same bloke & I wonder what he was carrying.
Any way all roads where easy going for a 4WD
Good Luck
