Mt Isa to Katherine

Hi Richard, we did this trip last August / Sept in our Nissan Patrol with slide on camper and I reckon a Holden Commodore could have done it no worries. We never needed 4WD and all tracks / creek crossings were fine with only about 300mm max of water across them. Maybe other members have done this route more recently and could update track conditions for you but for my mind, it would be OK to tow your camper trailers along this route. (Assume you are towing with 4WD's ?)
Recommend you spend a couple of days at Lawn Hill and don't miss the "Southern Lost City" between Borroloola nad Roper Bar. We think it's better than the Bungle Bungles.
Also, no fuel available at Hell's Gate so you need to carry enough to get to Borroloola

Richard,

When are you planning to go?

We hope to do travel Mt Isa to Roper River in early August, and am gathering information now.

Have been to Lawn Hill before, but turned north east, not north west last time :o)

Hi Richard, we did not go into Robinson River or Snake Lagoon but can highly recommend Kingfisher Camp just north of Lawn Hill. Also forgot to add that Woologorang is closed to tourists so no fuel their either. Fuel is much cheaper at Borroloola than Cape Crawford. Another couple of great camping spots are at Batten Point on the McArthur River. You can camp for free right on the river bank. Drive past the King Ash Bay caravan park and look for campsites along the river once you have gone past the last of the shacks. Another spot is Butterfly Springs. Good campsite and permanent fresh water hole with only fresh water crocs.
