Salvator Rosa,Carnarvon National Park

Hi Vince you will cop corrugations either way but the road in from the Tambo end is narrower and only graded once a year and you'll have the exp. of fighting the tripple trailer road trains going to "Cungellela" property.
After working in that shire for 12mths (left 9mth ago) I doubt it will have changed.
For park conditions best bet would be call Alex Whitehead, the Senior Ranger in Springsure. He can also tell you what the road from Springsure out on the Dawson Developmental Road, Cungellela Road and Salvator Rosa Rd's are like.

If it rains more than a couple of mills whilst you are in the park stay put as the last 9km into the park (Salvator Rd) is all Black soil and is prone to sink holes forming and there is always cattle on all 3 roads and some bulldust holes just for good measure.
I have had a bow wave of bulldust being pushed along like water by the bullbar and struggling for traction in low 1st at various times in the summer on Cungellela Rd. Just use caution and you'll be OK.

I used to do the trip in the hilux from Springsure to Salvator in 1/3/4hrs but most people would safely do it with a trailer in 3 hrs. After 12mths and 100,000km of that pounding my ute was completely rooted.

Have a great trip
Dave

Ka Ka Mindi is quiet and is less maintained than the others. Last time I went in there I got lost driving thru grass 2 foot above the roof of the lux. Don't go in there if it has been raining. If you are in the area then it would be worth the trip if you have the info sheet from the parks to ensure that you saw all the attractions in each park. Even if you only do it to say "yep did them all"
The Goodliffe section of the park is mainly just a road thru to Tambo but it suffered $700k of damage in Feb last year and I had only spent 30k to repair it when I left there. I have heard that they canned the rest of the repairs. Again Alex will be able to help with road conditions there. Don't go up there at all after rain. If you have trouble Goodliffe station is on Ch 26 UHF (James Speed really nice bloke) and Cungellela in on ch31 (i think)
In any case there are some huge (8ft) king browns around and some scrub pythons 15ft+, heaps of dingoes, goannas, roos etc.

Vince also check out going to Mt Moffatt, I have been to both and think Mt Moffatt is the nicest of the two. Can not remember much about the surface of the road but a call to EPA in Injune will get you the info.

We went in throughTambo iand out thur Springsure in our 99 Lux towing an offroad trailer. Road through Goodliffe section very interesting unlike the road out through Springsure very boring - radically cleared. Had the whole park to ourselves!
