Has anyone travelled this recently - what's it like - suitable to tow a 21'caravan over?

From Weipa to Mt Isa what is the fastest route?

Thanks

have travelled this road a couple of time but not this year. I have always found it ok with some loose gravel sections that build up in the centre of the wheel tracks.

All you need to do here if ground clearance is a bit low, get over to the side a bit more so the mound of gravel is not hitting your axle/s.

It would be the quickest way, but its all black top via Georgetown.

Hi

I traveled it early June - excellent condition

Can I suggest, if you have time spend a night at Porcupine Gorge it is an excellent camping area and is set up for caravans with well prepared sites

thanks for your replies - we'll probably take that route now.
