Has anyone done the Condingup - Balladonia WA road recently? We are towing a Bushtracxker caravan.

Could be a wet and boggy. In the dry there are a few decent bulldust holes there.
Wouldn't recomend it with a van.

If it`s the Parmango Rd you are talking about, it should be OK if they havn`t had too much rain out there. It is usually very corrugated but with an off road van should be OK if you take it easy.

Hi Neil
Nothing recent - we went with our Bushtracker in 2005 - a nice drive, but it was corrugated through the middle section - and people had made 'side tracks' to get away from them, but they had become just as bad. I doubt it gets much maintenance. The Parmango Road is not so bad as it mostly
services farms, but the track through the old stations is i think signed as an unmaintained road.
It is still worth the drive if you take your time. A lot of history there, about Eyre and his exploration and the early station holders.
Which way did you come south?
