Savannah Way Feedback

We are planning our Trip including the Savannah Way for next August. I've heard the Linmen River approach is steep. Is it ok for a Landcruiser and 17ft off-road caravan? How deep are the river crossings for the Savannah Way in August?

We travelled the Savanah Way this August in a Land Cruiser and a 20 ft Supreme Territory. At that time of year the river crossings had little water in but that can change from year to year check the local information closer to when you travel. The road was rough in places but they were working on it in quite a few places, as long as you drop your tyre pressures and drive to the road conditions you will be fine, when the signs say DIP take extra care as some of them are real bone shakers but are fine at a much slower speed. It is a great trip and a wonderful part of the world, enjoy as there is plenty to see and do.

Hi Wendy

We just got back last weekend doing the trip Cairns - Mattaranka and found it just ok and yes some of the dips are a bit rough and some parts the corrugations are a bit how do you do especially if you are going to be towing a van, all in all it's just ok, tyre pressure on your tug and van will be very inportant though and take it easy. There are some lovely camp spots on the track. St. Vidgeon down by the water, Robinson River and Butterfly Springs. Mt Suprise has a lovely Caravan Park and if you have the time go to Lawn Hill N/P but stay at the camp ground unfortunatley Adele's Grove look after the bookings now and tell everyone it's full. Enjoy the trip.

Cheers
Rick P
