Boulia to Alice Springs

That road is a formed and maintained road. It does vary in quality depending on when the grader went through last. If you have an off road van it should handle it without any trouble if you change your speed to suit the conditions. Usual caveats apply regarding dust and stones if the van is net "experienced".

OT

Did that trip June last year with kedron van and L/cruiser.
Could probably have done it with any high clearance van.
Grader had been through about a month prior.

TY,ill start making plans to do the trip. Both car and van have really high clearance so i should be fine. Cheers,happy Trails... Rod

I was going to go that way in about 2 weeks and I rang the Shire Council and luckily got on to the foreman who was working in that area. Currently they have 3 crews working on the road. The road he said was quite good but very very dusty as they have had no rain at all. There are a lot of road trains moving cattle out for adjistment. Corrugations in the road is 'not bad' ,his words, which can be a bit rough for travellers not used to it. There is no fuel for available from Boulia to Jervis as the station (forgot name ) that used to sell fuel is now closed.

Post a road report if you go that way please.

Should be fine - make sure you let your tyres down to 28psi for the 4wd and 20-22psi for the caravan. Keep your speed down to below 80kph and slow down on the rougher stuff.
(ie let your tyres do the work - make sure you have good LT tyres on the caravan)

I saw heaps of trailers and a few caravans last year on it - one was flying along and passed me (qld side). The next day (NT side) he was underneath the caravan trying to fix it - gee wizz I wonder why (I did not stop - considering the day before - as far as I was concerned he stay there).
