Hi all,
Can someone tell what the road's like?
Need to go to Paraburdoo, via meeka, towing a 6x4 box trailer,with around 300kgs of goodies.
I'm not worried about the LC100 TD, but the box.
Thanks

Went that way 2 years ago. A normal outback gravel road and as I recall, not too corrugated. Keep the tyre pressures lower in the trailer and your speed down to 80kmh, and you should be right.
Cheers

We did the north bit from Mt Augustus to Paraburdoo last month. Ditto Willem's comments.

Watch the wash-aways that hide in the tree shadows, otherwise that road isn't usually too bad for corrigations. Ring the Meeka shire for a road report before you go. They should be able to give you an idea.
