As per the title I can only afford a short trip this winter. There’s country to the East of the Flinders Range and north of
Yunta that I want have a look at.
Starting at
Broken Hill I’m planning to turn off at
Yunta then head north to Frome Downs (from there it’s approximately 65Klms to another turn off before heading west through
Blinman, where it meets up with the highway to the south of
Leigh Creek).
Since I haven’t been in the area between
Yunta and Frome Downs, it would be good to get a bit of
feedback on the dirt road between these two points.
I’ll be travelling with an off-road Goldstream camper trailer, but it wouldn’t bother me if the camper trailer was stored in
Broken Hill for a while.
I suspect the road won’t be all that bad, but it pays to ask.
Regards
Kim

The road is usually
well maintained as it is the quickest way to get to
Adelaide for people living in the area. However this can alter as with any outback roads subject to lots of rain.
I am sure someone closer by will post an answer on the recent condition of the road.

Thanks Dave
That's pretty much what I thought. I'll
check with the locals once I'm up there.

G'day Kim
I went along that road a while ago now in 2008 and the road was good. Plenty of dips through gullys to watch out for. You've just got to watch your speed so you dont hit them to fast.
Waukaringaruins were interesting. I camped beside the road in a good site just past Nillinghoo
Hill before going to Arkaroola and
Copley.
Cheers,
Tony

Towed the off road caravan up that road, on way to Arkaroola. Very straightforward.
