Matt, you bear a striking resemblance to the English backpacker Jamie Neale who was lost for 12 days recently in the Blue Mountains.
Good luck with your trip. Stay safe.

Best of luck on the
Red Bluff road Was up there 5 days ago and the last 4 k of the road is disgusting.
Was down to 10kph on one part of it near the end.
Not a decent van in there and Im not surprised.
If they want business he least they could do is grade it occasionally.
I would leave van if thats what u towing at Quobba as the road is pretty good to there.
Heaps of whales going up the coast at present
We saw over 20 whilst sitting near Quobba for about 4 hours.

Best of luck with your travels. Good to see someone else joining the many family's on the road. It is a great life style. Happy travelling. We loved Quobba and the coast up along there. An amazing area.

Thanks for the heads up on the Road Graham. Yeah we are towing a van. We might stay at Quobba if thats the case.
Thanks Josh. We have been talking about doing this for a long time. We wanted to get away before we have kids. So now we are finally doing it.
Thanks everyone

No Probs we left van at
Carnarvon and did a day trip so found it rough in just the car.
Talked to a guy heading that way in an older Roadstar and he was only going at a bit more than walking pace at Quobba and it wasnt bad there.
We were doing 80 most of the way even though there was corrugations but once you get onto the last 20k it deteriorates markedly.
Is also a bit of dry sand in parts.
Cheers
