Condamine Gorge - Dirty Weekends

I have done Condamine Gorge several times. Just fell in love with the place and did it 4 Saturdays in a row out of Brisbane. I took along a Hyundai Tucson, the water levels are really low. A Forrester should have no problems if taken slowly. A couple of the crossings have big rocks in them.. with the Hyundai I just let the auto idle through the rocky ones in case I hit a rock. (less speed = less damage I hope) but had no problems at all. It is a beaut drive but very dusty... so much so that when we had rels up from melbourne we didn't bother to stop and boil the billy. Too much dust from passing cars.

You'll love it. If you go to the cafe up on top of the range, you can buy a book for $5 that tells you the history of the road and where the various houese, schools used to be.

have fun... cheers

I was there October last year - beautiful drive, and really easy. Forester should do it ok if the water level isn't up (I'm in Toowoomba, been bugger all rain here and don't expect they've had much down there either). Water levels were quite low when I did it in October.

I WENT THRU THERE LAST FRIDAY ON THE WAY TO A JOB [I LIVE IN THE AREA] & U WILL HAVE NO PROBS. COULD HAVE DRIVEN THE COMMODORE OVER WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE.
REGARDS MARK.

It all depends on the water level. When I went though a year ago there were only some puddles. Nothing more then an inch deep. Could've done it in an excell.
A mate of mine went about 2 months before with water over the bonnet.
