Mt Moffatt

Nope , have not been back since.

Will be interested to see any replies.

When we went in 2005 a standard c/van went with us without too many problems, a couple of creek crossings needed to be treated with care but were OK.

Try national parks in Roma for more info.

I stayed there for a few days in August 2009 at a few different spots. Very remote. Good for getting away from it all. Very secluded.

The driving around there really is 4X4 stuff particularly the climbs to the higher parts.

Can't recall seeing caravans. From recollection they would be unsuited to most of that section of the park. The tracks are pretty serious high ground clearance 4X4 stuff. Even getting to it from Injune is a bit challenging and takes a few hours drive.

Temperatures are a lot colder overnight than many might expect. I encountered a minus 9.3. This was near the airfield which is not far from the Rangers residence. Thought my toes were a bit cold in the swag. :) Take lots of cold weather gear.

The distances are big. Much bigger than it looks on the map. This really is an enormous park.

Just one of the many attractions there.

Well worth a visit.

Hi Kev

We went to Mt Moffat section last year and stayed at Dargonelly. Very few at the campground, but we did book and pre-pay on the internet (something i said i would refuse to do). Although you can pay at the Ranger Station, pre paying suited us better. There is no self registration at the entrance to the park or the campgrounds. To get to the Ranger Station involves around 9 kms of sandy track; longer extra travel as you would need to take the caravan to Dargonelly and back track to the turn off to go to the Ranger Station. One couple came late and had to set up their tent in the dark. They had mis judged the time it would take them to go to the Station to register and pay on the way in.

The people we were parked next to us at Injune CP went the same time as us and they had a Coromal Seka Pioneer. Their travelling companions had a sturdier looking caravan. There was roadworks on sections of the drive between Womblebank and the park so the road should be much improved. Via Womblebank is the recommended route. We did one each way, but the Westgrove Road would not be suitable for most caravans.

The drive to Top Shelter was fantastic. The drive to Mt Moffat was nothing special. Great sandstone formations if you do all the short walks. We stayed there two days.

Hi Sir Kev & Darkie,
Spent several days there in June 2009, freezing nights but well worth the visit with good camping. No problems with a van, 16.5ft Trakmaster camping at the West Branch site. Not a soul about there or at Dargonelly.

After exploring Mt Moffatt then went south west through cattle stations to Salvator Rosa, the Western Section of the Carnarvon Range, another excellent camp beside the Nogoa River. Had lunch at the Claude River Cricket Club on the way out from Salvator Rosa. No cricket for years by the look of the pitch.
