borefield track

If you are refering to the to the track from Innamincka to Camerons Cnr in SA then the track is good with a few wash outs
60kmp average would be the limit.

A great trip not difficult but fun.

I am assuming you are coming from Roxby Downs and heading North.
Road is well maintained as BHP have an interest in that road (water pipe for the mine site etc). Reality though is that there is still some sharp rocks that will always stick out of the ground in that part of the country so take it easy. There are some spots where slower speeds are recommended with sliding etc especially in a mini bus which I would assume would be a bit 'top heavy'

It's a good graded dirt road. Been up there in my late model Calais with no trouble. As always, recent weather can always be an issue I guess.

Hi ewhyte

We went via the Borefield last year - a good dirt road. However a few days earlier it has rained, and someone we spoke to found it too slippery to make any progress on. It must dry up quickly, as it was in good order so soon after, and we travelled most of the way at 'normal speed' for a dirt road (we were towing a caravan). Small stone surface made the ride a bit 'rattly' in places, but it was not corrugated like some inland roads. Didn't take us very long at all.

The bit I destroyed a tyre on was not a dirt road.

It is predominately gravel/rock based toward Roxby Downs and sharp rocks can cause grief as in my case. The rock sliced through the sidewall and was not repairable. I had travelled from Coober Pedy through the Painted Desert, to Oodnadatta along the track to William Creek, out to Halligan's Bay, Lake Eyre, then along the Oodnadatta Track to the Borefield Track T-junction. All dirt roads and no problemo.
Then travelling down the Borefield I found the rock about 20 kilometers short of the bitumen. My travelling mate in the same model Jack was still running highway pressures, I was running 28 psi and towing the camper. Obviously Murphy was with me that day:-))

Generally though, conventional vehicles should have little trouble in traversing the track. Just take it easy.

Sorry about your tyre. We will watch out for the rocky areas as you mentioned and take it easy.
