We are about to start a trip (15th. Feb.) from Penrith, via Bourke, Cunnamulla, Eulo to Thargomindah, and Noccundra, then up via Windorah and Longreach to Normanton and Karumba.

The rig is a 70 series Landcruiser Cab Chassis Workmate, towing a 3.5 tonne 5th. wheeler. The trip will be on sealed roads except part of the road from Windorah north. We plan to take side trips to, among other places, Innamincka and the Dig Tree and to Burketown, leaving the 5th. wheeler on campsites

As I live in the UK for 9 months of the year my questions are.
What would be the likely state of the weather and road conditions at 25th. February on the Adventure Way and Bulloo Dev. Road (I note the Bulloo River is flooded at the moment and caution is suggested at Cooper creek)

The same question with regard to the roads north of Noccundra when we plan to arrive at Normanton at the beginning of March. (I note the Landsborough Hwy. is closed and problems north of Donors Hill and the Karumba and Croydon roads
Finally as I will need to leave the 5th. wheeler at Noccundra and Normanton whilst we make the side trips mentioned above.

Would it be safe to leave the 5th. wheeler unattended at these sites. In other words are they supervised sites ?
