Working on some details for our July trip and looking for some more advice please...

We'll be leaving the Strzelecki Track and headed south to Arkaroola and then Chambers Gorge before heading over to Wilpena. I'll be towing a camper trailer on the Forester, my brother has a Rav4:

1. There appears to be a road/track from North Mulga to Paralana - goes past the Beverley Mine. Does anyone know this? Is it a private road, or public access? Any ideas on the condition of it? There's quite a few roads marked on my map that cut through to Paralana - are any of these a better option?

2. The route from Paralana to Arkaroola is listed in "Australian Road Trips" as a Grade 4 ("passable with trailers towed with 4wd's") - again, anyone with recent experience with this route? Would I be better to go straight to Arkaroola and drop the trailer off there before going up to Paralana?

3. When we were there a couple of years ago, camping was allowed in the Chambers Gorge area - is this still the case?

Thanks all - you've been a great help so far - no doubt I'll have more questions over the next few weeks (less than 7 to go before hitting the road!) :)
