Hope some one can assist. We are heading to the Whitsundays (or should that be Wetsundays) mid week and as we are taking our
sedan we wanted to travel only on black top. I put in to my destination to Garmins Navigator software with unsealed roads avoided. It has come up with part of the trip taking me from
Tambo to Mackay through
Alpha and
Clermont.
I have looked on hard copy maps I have and this is shown unsealed. Can anyone let me know if its sealed or not?

The road you are talking about from
Tambo to Mackay is unsealed from
Tambo to
Clermont, but sealed from
Clermont to Mackay. We have travelled that road many times and the road is usually okay, but we have a Landcruiser. I'd be inclined to stay with sealed roads, especially considering the recent floods up this way.

Thanks Jimbo for the heads up.. I have travelled it years ago and as I said all my maps say its still dirt, just Garmin didn't avoid it... Seems to lmake you loose a bit of faith in their software LOL.
